What is NetFlow?
NetFlow lets you analyze and monitor yourbandwidthand determine, for example, the
amount of traffic caused by IP addresses, protocols, or programs.In order to carry out such
an analysis, you'll configure your routers such that flow packets are sent to a computer
installed with a PRTG probe. Flow technology puts little strain on your CPU and is especially
adapted for networks with heavy data traffic.

NetFlow protocol is mainly supported by Ciscoroutersand switches.

With the PRTG NetFlow Analyzer you can get aholistic view about your networkand what
your bandwidth is being used for.
