Hi, let's talk about pmacct in an IX environment and the problem I have:
We are using pmacct in our large IXP environment to compute traffic stats between our members, which on our LAN means MAC to MAC traffic. That means I have a lot of counters in my aggregation: if I have 150 members on the IX, I have 150*149*2 (in & out) = roughly 45000 counters to compute. What I'm doing right now is parsing all the counters from the memory plugin every 5 mins, and inserting them in RRD databases (classic). It's working well so far, but not really efficient when I want to present the stats *sorted* to my members, I have to compute data from thousands of RRD databases before getting anything relevant. What I would appreciate would be to have pmacct compute the usual 'daily, week, month, year, whatever' bandwidth rates for me so that I would just have to parse this information and then display the graphs sorted. Paolo, this mail follows up our discussion at the RIPE meeting, consider this as a feature request ;) Any comments, implementations ideas welcome.
