NetFlow is a trade mark of Cisco Systems Inc (USA). Packets in the identical format used by NetFlow are produced by a wide range of networking equipment, including a number of Linux tools. I've seen the Linux tools used in customer networks but I've never evaluated them myself, which is why I'm didn't make a recommendation of a particular tool for the sampler. Because of the trade mark you'll often find NetFlow traffic samplers under names other than NetFlow (eg, Juniper uses "cflowd" as a synonym for NetFlow). There is one exception: sFlow is *not* identical to the NetFlow format. If you want more information on ISP accounting tools, the NANOG list is a more suitable forum. The Cisco-NSP and Juniper-NSP lists often host useful discussions too. The archives of all these lists are online.
