Hello,

First, thanks for this usefull tool.

I am using Netflow tools 0.57 and  I get datas coming from our 4 core 
backcone switchs.
The problem is that some packets have to go through two core switches 
and then are counted twice.
Is there a fix for this ?

In the same order of idea, i'd like to collect datas from all our edge 
devices but I fear the problem will be the same:
Packets passing through two edge devices will report twice bytes.

Does some mechanism prevent this ?

Thanks in advance.
