Hi everybody,

I've got an app that's crashing, complaining about a flow that is outside
of its time window.  I figured out that the flow it complains about isn't
wrong; it's the one before, which claims to be from September 2004.
Yeikes!

Here's the flow under flow-export -f 2:

1090846405,95362500,496,128.32.23.45,3,144,4294943380,4294951940,0,0,83.152.130.232,169.229.67.89,0.0.0.0,9,0,3783,4661,6,0,2,0,16,0,0

Here's the "same" flow under flow-print -f 5:

0913.22:55:47.979 0913.22:55:56.539 9     83.152.130.232  3783  0 169.229.67.89  4661  
6   2  3          144

Obviously there's something very funky going on here.

What I need some help on is figuring out where in the flow-export record
the duration of the flow is listed.  I'm thinking that maybe there's
something very wrong with that field (overflow/negative perhaps?) that is
making this flow jump into the future.

It should be noted that this flow comes from a cisco 6509 running in
hybrid mode.  I've had problems with flows form such machines in the past,
so I'm very willing to implicate corrupt netflow packets.

I read the flow-export man page, but I couldn't figure out what field (if
any) determines the duration of a flow...flow-print -f 5 has it in there,
so it must be in the flow somewhere, but I am missing it.

Thanks,

Mike
