Ben, Sorry. I should have read the FAQ: Q: What Linux kernel versions does IPFIX flow monitoring work with? A: IPFIX flow monitoring requires the Linux kernel module from Open vSwitch version 1.10.90 or later. Regards, On 2013/05/01, at 14:05, Ben Pfaff wrote: > OVS also has very new supp

Rafael, As of today, Open vSwitch supports NetFlow v5 only. Having said that, if your network is using NetFlow v7, it doesn't necessarily mean that you must use NetFlow v7 in your entire network. If NetFlow collector you are using can understand NetFlow v7, it is highly likely it can understand
