## 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.
