NAME
flow-print — Display flows in formatted ASCII.
SYNOPSIS
flow-print [-hlnpw] [-d debug_level] [-f format]
DESCRIPTION
The flow-print utility will display flow data in ASCII using pre-
defined formats selectable with -f.
Some of the less descriptive column headers are defined below
Header Description
-------------------------------
Sif Source Interface ifIndex.
DiF Destination Interface ifIndex.
Pr Protocol.
P Protocol.
SrcP Source Port.
DstP Destination Port.
Pkts Packets.
Octets Octets (Bytes).
Active Time in ms the flow was active.
B/Pk Bytes per Packet.
Ts Type of Service.
Fl Flags, for TCP the cumulative or of the TCP control bits.
srcAS Source AS.
dstAS Destination AS.
Start Start time of the flow.
End End time of the flow.
router_sc V7 IP address of router producing shorcuts.
peer_nexthop V6 IP address of peer next hop IP address.
encap i/o Version 6 only. Encapsulation size in/out
duration Time in ms the flow was active.
input Input Interface ifIndex.
output Output Interface ifIndex.
flows Number of aggregated flows.
mTos V8.x ToS of pkts that exceeded the contract.
xpackets V8.x Packets that exceed the contract.
OPTIONS
-d debug_level
Enable debugging.
-f format Select format. The default is appropriate for the export
type of the flow data. Available formats are:
0 1 line, interfaces, hex ports
1 2 line (includes timing and flags)
2 2 line candidate TCP syn attack flows
3 1 line, no interfaces, decimal ports
4 1 line with AS number
5 1 line, 132 column
6 show ip accounting emulation
7 1 line, 132 column +router_id
8 1 line, 132 column +encapsulation
9 1 line with tag values
10 AS aggregation
11 Protocol Port aggregation
12 Source Prefix aggregation
13 Destination Prefix aggregation
14 Prefix aggregation
15 Destination aggregation (Catalyst)
16 Source Destination aggregation (Catalyst)
17 Full Flow (Catalyst)
18 ToS AS Aggregation
19 ToS Proto Port aggregation
20 ToS Source Prefix aggregation
21 ToS Destination Prefix aggregation
22 ToS Prefix Aggregation
23 ToS Prefix Port aggregation
24 Full (Catalyst)
-h Display help.
-l Unbuffer output.
-n Use symbolic names where appropriate.
-p Display header information.
-w Wide output.
