<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Actually the lost counts really aren't
that high. What you're seeing is that (from the first line) flow-fanout
was expecting UDP packet numbered 7959254 but received UDP packet numbered
5834414, so teh difference is 5834414 - 7959254 = -2124840. This gets represented
by 2**32 - 2124840 = 4292842455.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What is probably happening is you are
exporting from two different sources and flow-fanout is confusing the data
streams. Sometimes this can happen from a single device (e.g., 6509) where
the switch and MLS exporters are represented with different IP addresses.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">There is a more detailed discussion
of this on the mailing list archives.</font>

high. Has anyone seen this before? Is there any patch for it
