Description Marcin Mirosław 2010-02-25 15:57:27 UTC

Pmacct daemon can collect data only from one network interface. In more complicated networks, when router has many interfaces, it is not enough. To properly collect all flows it's needed to start more than one pmacct daemon.
It would be nice that init scripts could run more than one pmacct (as it's possible with e.g. openvpn)

Reproducible: Always
