[AusNOG] Brocade CER-2024 Routers

[Patrick Cole]

David,

Yeah mate, Hardware sFlow support has always been one of the strong 
points in Foundry/Brocade kit.  Of course you're limited to sampling 
1 in 512 frames at most though which means you are back to statistical
approximations for accounting rather than aggregated data like netflow.
I tend use it more for diagnostics / analytics more so than accounting.
