[Nodeshot] Different database for network Statistic

[Charles Wyble]

Not netflow. Sflow. Sflow is an open standard. Of course ntop will support both. Cisco devices emit netflow, everyone else emits sflow.

The Free Network Foundation (thefnf.org) is looking at nodeshot very closely for use in our AutoNOC work. All FNF projects will of course be 100% FLOSS. Think of us as the Canonical of mesh (long term support distro of the mesh stack). We are a non profit. We are working closely with guifi.net (and are building guifi.us) to help distribute an integrated, turn key, supported version of various upstream tools.

As you all well know, a proper network requires monitoring and configuration management software to be anything other than a toy. :) . AutoNOC will be that system. Sflow telemetry data is vital for proper instrumentation as networks scale up.

Have you all seen nocproject.org by the way?
