Hi,

We can sample an IP flow with IPFix.
My question is that when a packet is picked up in the sampling in IPFix, can I take that full packet out and export it outside for analysis or only a certain number of bytes of that packet as an upper limit.
Eg. when using sFlow, the sampled packet's maximum number of bytes captured is 256.

Regards
-Prashant
