Hi Grimur,

You may be mixing two unrelated things, nDPI and NetFlow. nDPI applies
to actual traffic (libpcap, NFLOG); typical NetFlow exports do report
only some elements of the packet headers (further summarised in flows)
in its records so a DPI tecnique can't be applied to it; Cisco provides
classification of flows through NetFlow with what they call NBAR (in
other words, classification must take place on the router when sampling
packets).
