[ixpmanager] Extending flow data format support beyond sFlow

[Jeroen Van Bemmel (Nokia)]

Hello,

We have a proposal to enhance IXP manager by enabling additional forms of traffic flow information, illustrated below

'goflow2' (https://github.com/netsampler/goflow2) is an open source flow collector tool that supports multiple input formats, and produces JSON structured output.
At https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/pull/836/files you can find a draft PR outlining what this could look like.

I have a question about running sflowtool in the context of the Docker-compose (https://docs.ixpmanager.org/dev/docker/), see https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/issues/837 (closed issue).
Would appreciate any suggestions/pointers on how to test sFlow support and the new Perl script mentioned above

Also, we would like to hear from existing IXP manager users if this extension would benefit them - do you have devices that are currently not integrated due to the lack of sFlow support?

Thanks,
Jeroen van Bemmel, Nokia
