There types of flows:
Destination - per {dest} flow
Source Destination - per {source/dest address} pair
IP (aka Full) Flow - per {source, dest, protocol and port} set

Look under the section labeled Flow Mask Modes

Subject: Multilayer Switching, CCO contradicts itself? [7:51272]


Hello all. In the below quote from CCO, is Cisco contradicting themselves in
the 2nd paragraph regarding each transport-layer session being a different
flow? Or do they mean that IF only the destination IP is used to ID a flow,
THEN all diff transport-layer sessions are the same flow?

Thanks!

Quote is here:

"
A flow is a unidirectional sequence of packets between a particular source
and destination that share the same protocol and transport-layer
information. Communication from a client to a server and from the server to
the client are separate flows. For example, Telnet traffic transferred from
a particular source to a particular destination comprises a separate flow
from File Transfer Protocol (FTP) packets between the same source and
destination.

Flows are based only on Layer 3 addresses, which allow IP traffic from
multiple users or applications to a particular destination to be carried on
a single flow if only the destination IP address is used to identify a flow.
