Hi everyone,

I read this article about sFlow versus NetFlow and it states that:

With sFlow monitoring, the *decode*, *hash*, *flow cache* and
*flush*functionality are not implemented on the switch.

With NetFlow this operations are performed in the switch, moreover there's
a flowcache (which can be configure to a minimum of 30 seconds). This
results in a delay from the moment the packets
cross the switch until they are flushed to the monitoring tool.

Is this true in the Open vSwitch implementation?

Thank you,
