Computer networks are becoming increasingly complex with more and more devices connected each day. Gaining network visibility is absolutely crucial to ensure your traffic flows smoothly and transit costs are kept low. In this mini-series I will show you how to set-up sFlow sampling on Linux, aggregate the data and finally present it in flashy graphs.
