NetFlow v5
==========
This is the default flow export format.


NetFlow v9
==========
In order to enable NetFlowV9 it is necessary to use the -T flag that defines the template format. For instance:
'nprobe -V 9 -T "%PKTS %BYTES %TOS %IP_SRC_ADDR %IP_DST_ADDR"  -n 127.0.0.1:2055'. For the list of all supported
fields type "nprobe -h". You can visualize the generated flows using a recent version of Ethereal (www.ethereal.com).


IPFIX
========
In order to enable IPFIX it is necessary to specify -T (as for NetFlowV9) and -V 10.
