Broadcom Network Flow Analysis Other Advice
The tool needs to be used in a particular network to see how the flow and classification of each protocol are done while looking at whether the bandwidth utilization is going beyond a limit or if it is below a certain limit.
I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.
Despite the low level of support, I would still fully recommend this product, because even when not all the features are used, the advantage of having such a wealth of useful information about the network traffic in real time, together with such flexibility of its presentation, is undeniable. Other tools may boast of being able to integrate packet-inspection features like Wireshark etc., but this costs extra money and most customers either never need to use it or lack the knowledge of how to interpret this information, if they do.

Carefully consider what is necessary. See if the traffic is critical in its own links and in the provider's links, in order to have the best device points that send flow packets (resources Hw aprox 20% of box max).
