I haven't read the entire document, but I noticed a few things, some editorial. Section 3.1. - Why no mention of ipv6 addresses or prefixes? Consider providing *only* ipv6, with IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (from RFC 2373) for IPv4. - There is an inconsistent use of 32-bit and 64-bit counters. If tcpSynTotalCount is 64 bits, probably octetUpstreamCount and octetDownstreamCount should also be 64 bits. - I don't understand how absolute timestamps flowStartMilliseconds and flowEndMilliseconds can be only 32-bit numbers. - Are fragmentIncomplete and fragmentFirstTooShort, etc. intended to be counters? They are 32-bits, but do not have "count" in their names. - fragmentOffestError is spelled wrong. Should be fragmentOffsetError. (or fragmentOffsetErrorCount).
