 I must say that I have the skills to predict the announcement the way people win the lottery. But for some reason, I'm thinking that there's a zig in this zag- that all the while letting the industry predict some sort of platform development (or a product), they were actually doing something completely different. I'm thinking that they are going to merge with someone big. I have no idea who, but that's my gut instinct.

 I'll re-edit this later when I have it fully put together, but here's the raw deal- 

Juniper EX series switches currently only support sFlow for packet/flow tracking/accounting. I want the same functionality I used to have in my old Riverstones (flow-based routers) where I could look up the active flows in the box and determine a culprit in a problem situation. So how to do this?

Right now I'll just include the diagram- basically you mirror traffic to a collecting server that converts the mirrored traffic to flows.

Right now I've got softlowd and flowd installed on an OpenBSD server and it's working great. Will update when I install Webview NR (or equivalent).

 Tim Pawlenty has been a tad hypocritical lately, and it hasn't been lost on those on the other side of the aisle. Even Horatio has weighed in...

 I made a video for a buddy- last time he tried this he got bogged down- I think this time he will find the partition auto-sizing will take all the hard parts of the installation behind the shed. Enjoy-
