+Flow Accounting
+---------------
+
+VyOS supports flow accounting through NetFlow or sFlow.
+
+For both types you need to specify the interfaces for which the data will be collected:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  set system flow-accounting interface eth0
+  set system flow-accounting interface bond3
+
+
+NetFlow is a protocol originating from Cisco Systems. It works on level3.
+VyOS supports version 1, 5 and 9
+
+NetFlow v5 example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  set system flow-accounting netflow engine-id 100
+  set system flow-accounting netflow version 5
+  set system flow-accounting netflow server 192.168.2.10 port 2055
