flow-stat(1)		     General Commands Manual		    flow-stat(1)

NAME
     flow-stat -- Generate reports with flow data.

SYNOPSIS
     flow-stat	[-hnpPw]   [-d	debug_level]   [-f format]  [-S sort_field]  [-s
     sort_field]  [-t tally_lines]  [-T title]

DESCRIPTION
     The flow-stat utility generates usage reports for flow data sets by IP  ad-
     dress,  IP address pairs, ports, packets, bytes, interfaces, next hops, au-
     tonomous systems, ToS bits, exporters, and tags.

OPTIONS
     -d debug_level
	       Enable debugging.

     -f format

     Report format.  Choose from the following:

	 0  Overall Summary
	 1  Average packet size distribution
	 2  Packets per flow distribution
	 3  Octets per flow distribution
	 4  Bandwidth per flow distribution
	 5  UDP/TCP destination port
	 6  UDP/TCP source port
	 7  UDP/TCP port
	 8  Destination IP
	 9  Source IP
	 10 Source/Destination IP
	 11 Source or Destination IP
	 12 IP protocol
	 13 octets for flow duration plot data
	 14 packets for flow duration plot data
	 15 short summary
	 16 IP Next Hop
	 17 Input interface
	 18 Output interface
	 19 Source AS
	 20 Destination AS
	 21 Source/Destination AS
	 22 IP ToS
	 23 Input/Output Interface
	 24 Source Prefix
	 25 Destination Prefix
	 26 Source/Destination Prefix
	 27 Exporter IP
	 28 Engine Id
	 29 Engine Type
	 30 Source Tag
	 31 Destination Tag
	 32 Source/Destination Tag

     -h        Display help.

     -n        Use symbolic names where appropriate.

     -p        Display header information.

     -P        Report as percent total.

     -s sort_field
	       Sort ascending on field sort_field.

     -S sort_field
	       Sort descending on field sort_field.

     -t tally_lines
	       Tally totals every tally_lineslines.

     -T title  Set report title to title.

     -w        Wide output.

EXAMPLES
     Provide a report on top source/destination IP pairs sorted by  octets,  re-
     port  in  percent total form for the flows in /flows/krc4.  Use the preload
     option to flow-cat to preserve meta information and display it  with  flow-
     stat.

       flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-stat -f10 -P -p -S4

EXAMPLES
     Many  times a campus network will have a single border router which has one
     interface pointing to the internal side and  many	interfaces  pointing  to
     other providers.  These interfaces each have a unique numerical id known in
     SNMP  terms  as  an ifIndex.  The ifIndex to interface name mappings can be
     determined by using a tool such as snmpwalk or using show commands  in  re-
     cent  versions of IOS with the 'show snmp mib ifmib ifindex' or JunOS 'show
     interfaces'.  Once the ifIndex for each interface is known flow-filter  can
     be  combined  with flow-stat to provide reports such as inbound vs outbound
     top src/destination IP addresses.

     Provide a top source IP address report by	outbound  traffic,  ie	the  top
     senders of traffic on the campus network.	Assume the ifIndex of the campus
     interface is 5.

       flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-filter -i5 | flow-stat -f9 -P -p -S3

EXAMPLES
     Provide a top destination IP address report by outbound traffic, ie the top
     sinks  of	traffic on the campus network.	Assume the ifIndex of the campus
     interface is 5.

       flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-filter -I5 | flow-stat -f8 -P -p -S3

EXAMPLES
     Provide a top source/destination AS report.  Use symbolic names.

       flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-stat -f20 -n -P -p -S4

BUGS
     None known.
