# The net/pmacct port

## pmacct-0.12.5p1 – IP accounting software

## Description

    pmacct is a set of passive network monitoring tools to measure, account,
    classify, aggregate and export IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, suitable to ISP, IXP,
    CDN, IP carrier, data-centre and hot-spot enviroments.

    Being able to collect flow data through libpcap, NetFlow and sFlow and
    optionally augment this by configuring peering with the included BGP
    daemon, granularity is fine enough for essential network management
    tasks such as billing, graphing network resource usage, analysing live
    or historical traffic trends, steering BGP peerings, real-time alerting,
    and certain SLA monitoring.

    Aggregation, flexible filtering, sampling and renormalization capabilities
    are provided to help cope with the large amounts of data produced by high-
    speed networks. Using either memory or database tables (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
    SQLite) as backend storage, pmacct can easily feed data into external
    tools, including RRDtool, GNUPlot, Net-SNMP, MRTG and Cacti.

    The default package provides SQLite support, available flavors are:

    	threads       compile with threads, required for BGP integration
                          or running packet classification in parallel
    	mysql         compile with support for MySQL
    	postgresql    compile with support for PostgreSQL
