pmacct is a small set of tools to account and aggregate IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; aggregation revolves around the key concept of communication primitives which may be arbitrarily combined to form complex aggregation methods; data is collected either using libpcap or through Cisco NetFlow v1/v5/v9. Aggregates can be stored into memory tables and SQL databases.

pmacct is a small set of tools to account and aggregate IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; aggregation revolves around the key concept of primitives (VLAN id, source and destination MAC addresses, hosts, networks, AS numbers, ports, IP protocol and ToS/DSCP field are supported) which may be employed alone or arbitrarily combined with others to form complex aggregation methods; support for custom historical breakdown, packet tagging, filtering and sampling. Aggregates can be stored into memory tables, SQL databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL) or simply pushed to stdout. Data is collected either using libpcap (and optionally promiscuous mode of the listening interface) or reading Cisco NetFlow v1/v5/v9 packets
