Hi Marc,

Such messages tell it has been detected some issues with
NetFlow datagram sequence numbers. This can be caused by
packet loss between an agent and the collector, mistakes
in the sequencing encoding among the others. Besides the
warning messages, which can be turned off, NetFlow datagrams 
reaching pmacct are processed as usual.

Do you see such messages appearing regularly or occasionally?
Can you spot a pattern (ie. only a subset of the devices
are affected, jumps repeat the same way, etc.)?

Cheers,
Paolo
