Haha I'll second: eliminating global/module variables (constants could
stay).
I'd also vote against adding "static", since it seems like a jury rig. If a
developer is considering using "static", the function should probably be
moved to a class (or add a parameter to the function instead).

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports.http://sdm.link/zohodev2dev
