Hi,

can you please outline which network device are you exporting your NetFlow
from, which NetFlow version are you actually using and what's roughly the
rate of the exported flows (or NetFlow packets) per second? 

Can you please also: a) post your configuration, if using any? b) post the
result for a "ps auxw | grep nfacctd" - or equivalent?

Lost NetFlow packets might be the result of a number of factors, including
problems with the collector application (or the underlying SO), CPU usage
of the network device and drops on the network. Hope we can rule out some
of the above by having some more informations.

Cheers,
Paolo
