NetFlow® technology was developed by Cisco Systems, so all of the Cisco IOS routing platforms can export NetFlow data. From Cisco Catalyst switching platforms, only Catalyst 6500 series multilayer switches support NetFlow data export. Other vendors are also offering NetFlow-like capabilities on their network devices. These similar technologies are named differently by various vendors, for example J-Flow® by Juniper, NetStream® by Huawei, IPFIX® by Nortel etc.

This list might not be up to date. For the latest info, please go to your device vendor website.

NetFlow Analyzer utilizes Traffic Patterns which are based on IP addresses and not on physical interfaces, that allows NetFlow Analyzer to support netflow probes - software generated NetFlow-like protocol. One such (free) software is Softflowd, available at http://code.google.com/p/softflowd/.
