Dear Experts,
I am completely new to the Network concepts, and in precise very new to Netflow Techniques.
Below is my understanding about Netflow
Routers and switches that support NetFlow can collect IP traffic statistics on all interfaces where NetFlow is enabled, and later export those statistics as NetFlow records toward Solarwinds NTA collector(main/addional Poller).
And we need 8 GB for every 1000 flow per second at NTA storage End
From my understanding above, the main poller or the additional Poller will receive all Netflow packets initially and then will send to dedicated flow storage Data base server using MS Messaging Queue.
As polling engine is the primary receiver, do we need to consider any extra storage to accommodate these Flow at polling engines.
Kindly provide your inputs & also please correct me if I am wrong some where
