Re: vlan stats and applications

There is a list of all the tools that support sFlow here:

http://www.sflow.org/products/collectors.php

but not all of them will take advantage of the VLAN information that
is included in sFlow.

I do know that this tool (from our company) includes a "top vlans"
chart that will give you the quantitative data you are looking for:

To turn on the sFlow feed from the Brocade (Foundry) devices, it is
just a few commands at the CLI:
