Re[4]: about sFlow instance

Hello Neil McKee,

Thank you for your comment.I understood this solution of using a
different UDP ports.
But,I have a small question about MIB.I wrote my comment in in-line.

I understood that we would be able to implement this solution whichever
the sFlow datagram v4 or v5.

In terms of the sFlow MIB of sFlow v5 text,I understood this sFlowFsTable
that you wrote as answer.
The other side,in case of sFlow v4 text,the sFlowEntry can't show both these
Entries because the sFlowDataSource is index of SFlowEntry.
Or should we do this in the sFlow MIB of sFlow v5 text?
