I've modified nftrack to dump the contents of Porttracker's database
(ports.stat) in clear text. From what I understand the type-values in
ports.stat are cumulative. So I did a little comparison between the
PortDB data and the summary-data from nfdump within the same 5-minute
interval. I got the PortDB data by taking the delta between two
consecutive updates.

These are the values for the same tcp-port within that interval:

PortDB (type 0,1 and 2): 662 flows, 253636 packets, 159295430 bytes
Raw data: 1250 flows, 504478 packets, 394323917 bytes

Shouldn't these be comparable? Or am I missing a vital point here,
regarding the data in ports.stat?
