softflowd is a C library. softflowd has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However softflowd has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

softflowd listens promiscuously on a network interface and semi-statefully tracks network flows. These flows can be reported using NetFlow version 1, 5 or 9 datagrams. softflowd is fully IPv6 capable: it can track IPv6 flows and export to IPv6 hosts. More details about softflowd's function and usage may be found in the supplied manpages, which you can view prior to installation using. /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc softflowd.8 | less /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc softflowctl.8 | less. If you are in need of a NetFlow collector, you may be interested in softflowd's companion project "flowd" (flowd is a NetFlow collector that is maintained in parallel with softflowd and includes a few handy features, such as the ability to filter flows it receives as well as Perl and Python APIs to its storage format. NB. You don't have to use flowd: any NetFlow compatible collector should work with softflowd. An example Perl collector is included for testing purposes as collector.pl, but it doesn't yet support NetFlow v.9.
