[ovs-discuss] Questions about IPFIX

[Felix Konstantin Maurer]

I just took a look at the code, and I think it should work, as the the
timestamps are properly updated in ipfix_cache_aggregate_entries.
However, I don't know the code base well or C for that matter.
Can you point me to where the time values are not properly set?

Regards
Felix
