Why each option
NetFlow flow monitoring can track both ingress and egress traffic, and supports monitoring of diverse traffic types including multicast, MPLS, and bridged traffic.
NetFlow collects and exports flow data to a collector, it does not copy flow information to another interface on the device.
NetFlow involves a flow *exporter* (the network device) and a flow *collector* (the server), not a 'flow importer'.
NetFlow is capable of collecting and reporting on traffic statistics for packets entering (ingress) and exiting (egress) network interfaces, providing a complete view of data flow.
NetFlow has the flexibility to track and analyze various complex traffic types, such as multicast, MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching), and bridged traffic, for comprehensive network visibility.
Traditional NetFlow processes all packets belonging to a flow without sampling; however, sampled NetFlow or sFlow implementations do use sampling, making this statement not universally true for all NetFlow-related technologies.
