Configure NetStream, information and configuration

• NetStream is a technology that collects IP packet statistics on a per-flow basis
• NetStream is a commercial option and must be ordered separately together with SNMP.
• The data traffic is analysed on the VLAN interface in the upstream and/or downstream direction.
• A management loopback IP address is always required for NetStream, which must be configured in one VPN of the router.
