6. 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.

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

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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
