Chapter 33
Configuring NDE
You can configure sampled NetFlow to use time-based sampling or packet-based sampling.
Table 33-5
Table 33-5 Time-Based Sampling Rates, Sampling Times, and Export Intervals
Sampling Rate
1 in 64
1 in 128
1 in 256
1 in 512
1 in 1024
1 in 2048
1 in 4096
1 in 8192
As examples, if you configure 64 as the rate, then every 4096 milliseconds the sampled NetFlow feature
uses traffic from the first 64 milliseconds of a flow; if the rate is 2048, then every 8192 milliseconds, the
sampled NetFlow feature uses traffic from the first 4 milliseconds of a flow. With time-based sampled
NetFlow, the export interval is not configurable.
Packet-based sampled NetFlow uses this formula to sample a flow: the numer of times sampled is
approximately the length divided by the rate (packets_in_flow/sampling_rate). For example, if the flow
is 32,768 packets long and the sampling rate is 1024, the flow is sampled approximately 32 times
(32,768/1,024). With packet-based sampled NetFlow, the export interval is configurable.
