[j-nsp] cflowd Export Issue

[Sungro Kim]

If you need heavy sampling then using service PIC/monitoring PIC is the
option that you can choose.
If you use a service PIC/monitoring PIC, the sampled packets don't go
into RE-PFE link but handled by the PICs with higher performance.

Subject: [j-nsp] cflowd Export Issue

Hello all.

Got this error earlier today:

# commit
[edit forwarding-options sampling output cflowd n.n.n.n]
  cflowd configuration error
    Can not configure more than one cflowd v5 collector

Google'ing further suggests that because the internal RE-PFE link is
only a 100Mbps Fast-E connection, there is potential to choke other
control traffic if multiple flows of the same cflowd version are
exported to a collector.

Most of the M-series platforms seem to have this design. 

Any workaround?

Cheers,

Mark.
