Argus Autonomous 10 GbE probe

[Guillaume FORTAINE]

Dear Mister Bullard,

Thank you for your reply.

We are already running Flexible Netflow and we use it as an IPFIX 
testbed. The question is :

Who would be interested in an Argus probe ?

Especially, what are the differences, from a customer point of view, 
between Flexible Netflow / IPFIX / Argus ?

We look forward to your answer,

Best Regards,

Guillaume FORTAINE
