NetFlow v5 Record Format

The following fields are recorded in the NetFlow-5 record type:

Name Description Offset

Field Length
in
Bytes

Source IPaddr IP address of the device that sent the flow 0 4
Destination IPaddr IP address of the destination device 4 4
Next hop router IP address n/a 8 4
Inbound snmpIFindex

SNMP index number that identifies the Inbound interface on the PacketShaper:

1 Inside (built-in)
2 Outside (built-in)
3 Upper_Inside (upper LEM) or Right_Inside (right LEM)
4 Upper_Outside (upper LEM) or Right_Outside (right LEM)
5 Lower_Inside (lower LEM) or Left_Inside (left LEM)
6 Lower_Outside (lower LEM) or Left_Outside (left LEM)

12 2
Outbound snmpIFindex

SNMP index number that identifies the Outbound interface on the PacketShaper:

1 Inside (built-in)
2 Outside (built-in)
3 Upper_Inside (upper LEM) or Right_Inside (right LEM)
4 Upper_Outside (upper LEM) or Right_Outside (right LEM)
5 Lower_Inside (lower LEM) or Left_Inside (left LEM)
6 Lower_Outside (lower LEM) or Left_Outside (left LEM)

14 2
Packet Count Number of packets in the flow 16 4
Byte Count Total number of bytes in the flow 20 4
Time at Start of Flow Value of SysUpTime when the first packet in the flow was seen (measured in milliseconds) 24 4
Time at End of Flow Value of SysUpTime when the last packet in the flow was seen (measured in milliseconds) 28 4
Source Port Port number of the device that the flow went out of 32 2
Destination Port Port number of the device that the flow went to 34 2
One pad byte n/a 36 1
TCP flags Protocol state (URG=32, ACK=16, PSH=8, RST=4, SYN=2, FIN=1). For example, a value of 27 indicates the flow had a SYN, ACK, PUSH, and FIN (2+16+8+1=27). 37 1
Layer 4 Protocol Type of layer 4 protocol. For example, ICMP=1, TCP=6, Telnet=14, UDP=17 38 1
IP Type of Service (ToS) / Diffserv Value that designates special handling of traffic (precedence, delay, throughput, and reliability) 39 1
Source Autonomous Sys ID n/a 40 2
Dest. Autonomous Sys ID n/a 42 2
Source Mask Bits Count n/a 44 1
Destination Mask Bits Count n/a 45 1
Two Pad Bytes n/a 46 2

Certain fields (those marked with n/a in the Description column above) are applicable to routers, but not PacketShapers. These fields will always have a value of zero (0) in the NetFlow v5 records from Packeteer.
