sFlow

sFlow is a monitoring technology used in networks to continuously collect data about the traffic passing through devices like switches and routers. It works by capturing small samples of network data in real-time, providing insights into how the network is performing, which applications are using bandwidth, and identifying potential issues or security threats. This sampling approach allows network administrators to monitor large, complex networks efficiently without impacting performance, helping them optimize resources, troubleshoot problems, and ensure the network runs smoothly and securely.
