in my setup there are two upstream providers for which i count the
bytes using netflow. everything works fine, except that i still note
some flow loss.

the flow collector is linux 2.4.30, flow-tools is 0.67, cisco flow
export v5. the linux kernel parameters are:
net.core.rmem_max = 10000000
net.core.wmem_max = 10000000

after a month of runnung 2 flow-capture processes i have:

May 23 10:35:00 nhcc flow-capture[2158]: STAT: now=1116837300
startup=1114377863 src_ip=10.100.100.1 dst_ip=10.100.100.17 d_ver=5
pkts=3262957 flows=97888707 lost=1470 reset=0 filter_drops=0

May 23 10:35:00 nhcc flow-capture[2160]: STAT: now=1116837300
startup=1114377863 src_ip=10.100.100.2 dst_ip=10.100.100.17 d_ver=5
pkts=1289273 flows=38662809 lost=570 reset=0 filter_drops=0

i have pretty moderate traffic, very fast collector machine and good
network hardware (all routers and switches are cisco). what could be
the reasons for the flow loss?

thanks,
Kresimir
