OK, as I chew through this, I'm beginning to think that I want to build a 
separate path from NetFlow sender (agent) to nProbe receiver to NetFlow 
consumer (ntopng)L:

dc-a-rtr --> port 6343 --------> nprobe collector-port=6343 + 
zmq=tcp://127.0.0.1:5556 ------>  ntopng -interface=tcp://127.0.0.1:5556
dc-b-rtr --> port 6344 --------> nprobe collector-port=6344 + 
zmq=tcp://127.0.0.1:5557 ------>  ntopng -interface=tcp://127.0.0.1.5557
xyz --> port 6345 -----------> nprobe collector-port=6345 + 
zmq=tcp://127.0.0.1:5558 --------> ntopng -interface=tcp://127.0.0.1:5558

More generally, each NetFlow (sFlow in my case) sender uses a unique UDP port 
to send data to a unique instance of nprobe, which in turn communicates to 
ntopng via a unique TCP port.

Am I on the right track?

[This seems fragile to me:  I must then maintain internal documentation on 
which sender uses which UDP port.  And not scalable.  But perhaps this is the 
current state of the art?]
