NAME
     flow-send -- Transmit flow data with the NetFlow protocol.

SYNOPSIS
     flow-send	[-h]  [-d debug_level]	[-m privacy_mask]  [-s]  [-x xmit_delay]
     [-V pdu_version] localip/remoteip/port

DESCRIPTION
     The flow-send utility is used to transmit flows in NetFlow format to a col-
     lector specified by localip/remoteip/port.

OPTIONS
     -d debug_level
	       Enable debugging.

     -h        Display help.

     -s        Enable spoofing of source IP address.

     -m privacy_mask
	       Apply privacy_mask to the source and destination  IP  address  of
	       flows.  For example a privacy_mask of 255.255.255.0 would convert
	       flows  with source/destination IP addresses 10.1.1.1 and 10.2.2.2
	       to 10.1.1.0 and 10.2.2.0 respectively.

     -V pdu_version
	       Use pdu_version format when transmitting.

	 1    NetFlow version 1 (No sequence numbers, AS, or mask)
	 5    NetFlow version 5
	 6    NetFlow version 6 (5+ Encapsulation size)
	 7    NetFlow version 7 (Catalyst switches)
	 8.1  NetFlow AS Aggregation
	 8.2  NetFlow Proto Port Aggregation
	 8.3  NetFlow Source Prefix Aggregation
	 8.4  NetFlow Destination Prefix Aggregation
	 8.5  NetFlow Prefix Aggregation
	 8.6  NetFlow Destination (Catalyst switches)
	 8.7  NetFlow Source Destination (Catalyst switches)
	 8.8  NetFlow Full Flow (Catalyst switches)
	 8.9  NetFlow ToS AS Aggregation
	 8.10 NetFlow ToS Proto Port Aggregation
	 8.11 NetFlow ToS Source Prefix Aggregation
	 8.12 NetFlow ToS Destination Prefix Aggregation
	 8.13 NetFlow ToS Prefix Aggregation
	 8.14 NetFlow ToS Prefix Port Aggregation
	 1005 Flow-Tools tagged version 5

     -x xmit_delay
	       Configure a microsecond transmit delay between packets.	This may
	       be necessary in some configurations to prevent a transmit  buffer
	       overrun.

EXAMPLES
     Transmit  all  flows  in  the  directory  /flows/krc4  to	the collector at
     10.0.0.1 listening on port 9500.

       flow-cat /flows/krc4 | flow-send 0/10.0.0.1/9500

     Generate a test pattern of version 7 flows and send them to a collector  at
     10.0.0.1 listening on port 9500.

       flow-gen -V7 | flow-send 0/10.0.0.1/9500

BUGS
     It  is  not  currently  possible  to convert between the aggregated formats
     (8.x) and the non aggregated formats (1,5,6,7).
