[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! URL is: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat5000/rel_5_2/layer3/m ls.htm 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.
