Hi everyone,
I've been trying to get Akvorado to work on my environmnet but I keep getting 
the flows to stop collecting, it seems like the issue is related to the number 
of exporters I have sending data, can someone please share the max number they 
have gotten to work and the flows/s rate without the system crashing?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for that link. I did read the spec, and while the definition itself is 
clear, the escape clause gives a lot of wiggle room:

"Hardware limitations may prevent an exact reporting of the underlying frame 
length, but an agent should attempt to be as accurate as possible."

I read that as, "the vendor will do whatever it pleases, and you should be 
grateful to receive a non-negative integer at all." I could be too cynical, 
though.

Anyway, this particular vendor does other funny things (such as sometimes 
stripping the q-tag headers from the sampled frame; throttling the frame 
sampling on the box, but not adjusting the sampling interval in the sFlow 
exports) that make it a true joy to work with this gear. ;-)

Cheers,

-- Steven
