This is pretty cool. You can use Netflow with the new vDS to monitor the traffic on the virtual machines. Does anyone use this? I need to play with this once I get my second host up and running! http://www.virtualinsanity.com/inde...d-the-new-vsphere-distributed-switch-netflow/

vSphere 5 and the new vSphere Distributed Switch Netflow Setup
- Thread starter AMD_Gamer
- Start date
Plenty of people do it with the Cisco Nexus 1000v distributed switch and physical switches.No.
That's lame. Why not?
There is no new R&D or features being put in to the standard vSwitch. Plus, to properly do NetFlow you have to have switch-wide visibility and you need the vDS for that.
