Wireshark does not support Netflow the way you want to use it.<br />
<br />
PRTG is good, I believe that <a href="http://www.manageengine.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.manageengine.com/</a>&nbsp;has a NetFlow client that is free for 30 days.<br />
<br />
If you know and support Linux, then NTOP is free.

I need to monitor some network traffic to find out why the network has slow performance from time to time.<br />
<br />
I cant find any information about Wireshark supporting NetFlow v9. &nbsp;Does it support NetFlow? and could you provide some documentation on configuring Wireshark for recieving NetFlow.<br />
<br />
If Wireshark does not support NetFlow, what other FREE software could be used for this? &nbsp;I have been looking at Whats Up Gold but to me it looks like you need to purchase a license for this? &nbsp;Also, I am not sure if Solarwinds supports NetFlow in the demo version.<br />
<br />
Any info is welcome.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
