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

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  flow-send utility is used to transmit flows	in NetFlow format to a
       collector 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).
