ExtremeXOS sFlow Version

Am I right in saying sFlow version 5 does not support egress traffic?

We're using solarwinds to monitor our extreme networks infrastructure but the software does not monitor egress traffic.

I'm also a little confused by netflow and sflow and the difference.

Any info on this subject is most helpful

Hi Ian,

Not sure if the switches are not producing egress packets for Sflow.. that would sound weird to me tbh.. but I never checked it. as I'm using the sflow purely for the DDoS logging of traffic.

The biggest difference between netflow and Sflow is that Sflow samples traffic ( 1 in 8000 packets for example) where netflow is showing all the flows.
