The IT team was using a commercial product , called 'nreporter' , that can 
collect all flow protocol in single port.

This is a nice feature because not all of IT member understand varieties of 
flow protocols of varieties router.

The plan was to replace the commercial collector and keep router setting 
unchanged, in the end we modified router setting a little bit.

Hi TC,

I would simply not recommend to run both sFlow and NetFlow on the same
port; the only way possible is the one you mention in your last email:
use a replicator to feed the actual daemons; but it seems too involved
to me if you do not have strong reasons for it (technical limitations or
corporate bureaucracy to overcome).

Cheers,
Paolo
