Hello Ben,

Thanks for your comments.

In ipfix and sflow, the sampling rate can be set as 1, which means 100%.  And 
in order to make 100% packets sampled, I work out a patch in datapath, which is 
for review on net-next.
And the same change seems need to be added into lib/odp-execute.c too. Do you 
mean that it is not necessary here?

Bests,
Wenyu
