Rajesh, OVS supports NetFlow V5 and IPFIX (a.k.a. NetFlow v10). NetFlow V5 as a protocol can't export information other than the pre-defined information element such as src/dst IP address, src/dst port number, protocol, nexthop address, input/output interface, etc. IPFIX, on the other hand, has extensibility and can export additional information. However, IPFIX in OVS only exports information similar to NetFlow V5. It doesn't have a configuration knob to have it export additional information element.

Is there any option to export other data present in a packet. Without OVS, I was able to do netflow export using a tool called pmacctd. It supported exporting basic netflow data and custom metadata (this was present as part of the packet itself at specific byte location). There was a way to specify custom data with packet pointer bytes, length in pmacctd tool. Just wanted to check whether any such option in current OVS setup.
