sflowtool & port filtering?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

Are there any thoughts/plans to integrate some kind of port filtering
into sflowtool?

We have a (dual) ring of switches and are currently intending to enable
sflow-sampling on the edge ports only. However there is a particular
requirement to be able to monitor the traffic on the inter-switch links.

Enabling sampling on the inter-switch links will obviously duplicate the
sampling of some frames, so what we are looking at is a way of using the
"fanout" functionality of sflowtool with some way to "split" the
sflow-data so that ISL samples go to one port, and all-but-ISL samples
go to another port.

Any thoughts/comments on this? If it is not being worked on, and we are
able to get a resource to do this, could it be accepted into the
mainline code (for ease of ongoing maintenance, etc)?

Many thanks

Ivan
