[Netflow & billing software] Suggestion needed

[AvDav]

Hello guys,

I developed a billing software which collects traffic usage info from Cisco router, it uses Cisco's ip accounting feature and rsh client/server. Now I'd like to develop similar soft which will utilize netflow protocol since it is more straightforward way of obtaining network traffic info. Does anybody have any experience with netflow ? Maybe you could suggest some good API or library preferably on PERL/C/C++/PHP? Also I found some free open source products which perform the billing task, but they are too complicated and contain unnecessary functionality.

Thanks in advance.
Regards, David.

Your software seems to be similar to UTM5, a billing system that collects Netflow v5. I think for advice you should contact the guys from NetUP (www.netup.biz), developers of UTM.
