+Pmacct is a small set of multi-purpose passive network monitoring tools.
+It can account, classify, aggregate, replicate and export forwarding-plane
+data, ie. IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; collect and correlate control-plane data via
+BGP and BMP; collect infrastructure data via Streaming Telemetry.
+
+Each component works both as a standalone daemon and as a thread of execution
+for correlation purposes (ie. enrich NetFlow with BGP data).
