Cisco CNS NetFlow Collection Engine—Version 5.0 Key Features Cisco® NFC Version 5.0 Key Features Target Market Benefits 1) Sophisticated traffic performance reporting at the edge and core of the customer IP and MPLS/VPN network to allow complete bandwidth usage view of customer edge (CE) provider edge (PE) (per sub- interface) and PE-PE to optimize network performance Deploying intelligent network solution for: Midsize enterprise Large enterprise Service provider Channel/partners 1) Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)/VPN CE-PE and PE-PE module; top N reporting 2) Enhanced the values of IP Solution Center, CNS Performance Engine and NFC integration for more than 1000 NFC customers worldwide and adding capabilities of managing multiple NFCs and appliances in the network 2) MPLS/VPN CE-PE and PE-PE module; top N reporting and quality of service (QoS)—includes experimental (EXP) bits 3) Passive Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peering—AS information. 3) Provide easy means for ISPs and ILECs to enforce and aid peering contract negotiation between the identified peering points.

Cisco CNS NetFlow Collection Engine—Version 5.0 Key Features (Cont.) Cisco® NFC Version 5.0 Key Features Target Market Benefits 4) Reduce costs by providing an important NFC configuration and reporting components for Cisco end-to-end solutions using embedded Web-based tools Deploying intelligent network solution for: Mid-size enterprise Large enterprise Service provider Channel/partners 4) Web-based interface 5) Extended QoS—support differentiated services code point (DSCP); type of service (ToS) and EXP bits to allow superior handling of mission-critical and bandwidth-intensive applications by reporting on traffic classification, prioritization, and congestion 5) QoS—Include EXP field 6) Support for latest IOS NetFlow enhancements 6) IPv6; Random sampling NetFlow, NetFlow multicast and max-burst rate

Cisco CNS NetFlow Collection Engine Version 5.0 Key Features Web-based interface Cisco® NFC 5.0 will have a Web-based user interface for configuration, control, and simple reporting VPN PE-PE module A lightweight version of Cisco CNS Performance Engine—The NetFlow Mediator will pull aggregation results from the Cisco NFC hosts and correlate them with the customer data obtained from the Cisco VPN Solution Center (VPNSC) DNS and interface name look up The user will be able to configure the Cisco NFC output to contain IP addresses or DNS names

Cisco CNS NetFlow Collection Engine Version 5.0 Key Features (Cont.) Max-burst rate Provide a thread option to record a maximum burst rate with Cisco® NFC output records. Self-describing Cisco NFC output Self-describing aggregation results that contain the data-type definition of all fields. QoS Cisco NFC 5.0 is able to output the entire ToS byte; DSCP and EXP field. EXP is a 3-bit field in the MPLS header that indicates the class of service of the MPLS packet.

Cisco CNS NetFlow Collection Engine Version 5.0 Key Features (Cont.) Top N summary report Reporting allows the user to view the top X records, according to a selected field, that were used to generate a previous top X report. NFC error message log

Cisco CNS NetFlow Collection Engine Version 5.0 Key Features (Cont.) Support for NetFlow features: IPv6 Random sampling NetFlow NetFlow multicast—Tested with V9 Passive BGP peering—Autonomous System information
