I think we only export the v9 fields related to sampling information
when using Flexible Netflow and enabling "option sampler-table". Within
the "traditional" Netflow infrastructure, these fields are not sent IIRC
(many customers use the same sampling interval throughout the network,
so entering this information statically somewhere works for many
deployments)..
