}This command randomly samples packets. For example, for a 1:100 sampling, the Vyatta router randomly calculates a number from 1 through 100, say 63. When the sixty-third packet arrives at the data plane interface that is being monitored, the router extracts the NetFlow packet details and sends them to the NetFlow collector. The router ignores the remaining 37 packets of the sampling window (packets 64 through 100), then the router repeats the process of sampling packets.
