While NetFlow v5/v9 are Cisco proprietary protocols, IPFIX is the open, extensible standard adopted by most modern network equipment. If you operate a self-hosted network infrastructure and need deep visibility into traffic patterns, bandwidth consumption, and application-level flows, deploying a dedicated IPFIX collector is essential.</p>
