It's basically guarantee dto be sending that info because the protocol
and port info is in every version 5 NetFlow record.

However, to familiarize yourself with those records, look at your raw
flow files with flowdumper.  E.g.


   $ flowdumper flows.current |less

   $ flowdumper flows.current |ip2hostname |less

   $ flowdumper -s flows.curent |ip2hostname |less

If your not seeing any inbound or outbound traffic in the FlowScan
graphs then its probably that the NextHops or OutputIfIndexes or
"local_nets.boulder" stuff is misconfigured.

Some users have reported some obscure problems with NAT...  When you
run flowdumper be sure that the output ifIndexes and nexthop values are
not zero.  (FlowScan skips unicast flows that have zeroes there.)
