I will set up and optimize network flow collectors, netflow, ipfix and sflow
About this Gig
Need deep visibility into your network traffic, bandwidth consumption, and ASN communications?
As a Senior Network Infrastructure Engineer with 10+ years of carrier and enterprise experience, I design and deploy high-performance network flow telemetry systems.
What I can configure for you:
- Device Flow Export: Junos J-Flow, Cisco NetFlow v5/v9, IPFIX, and sFlow configuration on routers, switches, and firewalls.
- Collector Deployment: Installation and tuning of modern flow engines (Akvorado, PMACCT, GoFlow2, FastNetMon, or Elastic/Logstash).
- Traffic Classification & Analytics: AS-Path analytics, BGP routing integration, top talkers, application breakdown, and bandwidth monitoring.
- Storage & Dashboards: ClickHouse / OpenSearch backend integration with rich web dashboards.
Why work with me?
- Production-proven architectures for high-throughput environments.
- Minimal CPU overhead tuning on network devices.
- Complete documentation on maintenance and dashboard queries.
Please reach out with your device models and traffic volume before ordering!
Operating system:
Linux

FAQ
What is the difference between NetFlow, IPFIX, and sFlow?
NetFlow and IPFIX are packet-aggregation flow protocols ideal for stateful tracking, while sFlow uses packet sampling, which is extremely lightweight on high-speed datacenter switches.
Which collectors do you recommend for high traffic?
For modern environments with high flow rates, Akvorado (with ClickHouse) or PMACCT provide exceptional performance, low storage footprint, and rich BGP-correlated analytics.
What access is required to perform the deployment?
SSH access to your collector server (Linux) and administrative access to the network devices exporting the flow telemetry (or via remote screen share).
