[Cflowd] Flow-export data format supported

[Edwin D. Viñas]

Hello Frank,

In a version 8 flow-export data format, what are the data fields contained
in each flow?

If the data fields are different than that of the version 5 format, my
current netflow database
will be able to store the data.

What aggregation schemes are good to apply?


Yours,
Edwin
