[j-nsp] An Olive Question

[Stefan Fouant]

I never claimed they were different, I was only pointing out that the
support is different depending on the code..  CFlowD is very much akin to
Netflow v5 or Netflow v8 because CFlowD will not allow you to capture L7
information as Netflow v9 support would.
