Re: Descriptive paragraph on flow export benchmarking

Al,

What about this?

Flow Export and Collection: Develop terminology and methods to
characterize network devices flow monitoring, export, and collection.
The goal is a methodology to assess the maximum IP flow rate that a
network device can sustain without losing any IP flow information or
compromising the accuracy of information exported on the IP flows,
and to asses the forwarding plane performance (if the forwarding 
function is present)
in the presence of  Flow Monitoring.
