hi all!

we are using flow-tools for traffic mediation, currently v5; and are studying the impact of switching to v8.5.

the problem is that when collecting v8.5 we loose 99.99% of the flows (based on data given by flow-header). it's not an i/o or network problem, because if i switch off filtering, i only loose 0.72%, which is ok. as soon as i turn on filtering, it shoots up to 99.99%.

since i've got quite a powerful machine handling this, i believe i'm doing something wrong somewhere, but can't quite put the finger on it. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i'm running flow-tools 0.66, with the following command line and filter file:

/usr/local/netflow/bin/flow-capture -f /aggregator/conf/v8-filter - -Fto-adsl -V 8.5 -A 3243 -w /servers/capture/ -p /servers/capture/capture.pid -n 96 -R /aggregator/src/parse-cflowd.pl - -E 200G 0/0/9991
