Versions of Original and Aggregated Flows
The NE5000E allows flow statistics to be output in the form of original flows or aggregated
flows. The NE5000E supports three flow output formats: V5, V8, and V9. Original flows can
be output in V5 or V9 format and aggregated flows can be output in V8 or V9 format.
Aggregation of Original Flows
The NE5000E supports 12 IPv4 aggregation modes, 12 IPv6 aggregation modes, and one MPLS
aggregation mode.
NetStream Service Processing Modes
The NE5000E supports two NetStream service processing modes: distributed mode and
integrated mode.
l
Distributed mode
In this mode, an LPU can sample packets, aggregate flows, and output flows independently.
l
Integrated mode
In this mode, an LPU samples packets but takes no actions to NetStream flows. Instead, it
sends the NetStream flows to the NetStream processing board for aggregation and output.
Aging Modes
A NetStream flow can be aged in one of the following modes:
l
Inactive time-based aging
The inactive time refers to the time period from when the last packet is cached on the LPU
to the current time. The inactive time can be set, and if the set value is exceeded, the system
ages flows in the buffer.
l
Active time-based aging
The active time refers to the time period from when the first packet is cached on the LPU
to the current time. If the duration of flows in the buffer is longer than the active time, these
flows will be aged when new flows need to be cached.
l
TCP disconnection-based aging
After a packet carrying the FIN or RST flag is transmitted over a TCP connection, the TCP
connection is torn down. When a packet carrying the FIN or RST flag is sampled and added
to an existing TCP flow, the system ages the TCP flow.
l
Byte counts-based aging
Bytes of flows cached in the buffer are counted. If the flow bytes in a buffer exceed the
upper threshold, the buffer overflows. If the flow bytes cached in the buffer on the router
exceed the threshold, the system ages flows in the buffer.
l
Forcible aging
Original flows cached in the buffer can be forcibly aged by using command lines.
6.3 Collecting Statistics About IPv4 Original Flows
Before collecting statistics about IPv4 original flows, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
