MPLS-Aware NetFlow

Overview MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS)-aware NetFlow is an extension of the NetFlow accounting feature that provides highly granular traffic statistics for Cisco routers. MPLS-aware NetFlow collects statistics on a per-flow basis just as NetFlow does. A flow is a unidirectional set of packets (IP or MPLS) that arrives at the router on the same subinterface, has the same source and destination IP addresses, has the same Layer 4 protocol, the same TCP/UDP source and destination ports, and the same Type Of Service (TOS) byte in the IP header. In addition, an MPLS flow contains up to three of the same incoming MPLS labels of interest with experimental bits and end-of-stack bits in the same positions in the packet label stack.
