4. cfdcollect

cfdcollect is used to retrieve and archive tabular data from instances of cflowd at regular intervals. This is how we generate time series data for the tabular information (AS matrix, net matrix, protocol table and port matrix). cfdcollect uses a CflowdServer class as an interface to instances of cflowd. cfdcollect writes data in ARTS files, using the ARTS C++ class library (from the arts++ package). A simple picture of tabular data collection via cfdcollect is shown in Figure 3.
