I see that in version 0.10.13 there is now support for the Netflow/CFLOW version 9 template records. However, for the decodes of the actual flow records it appears that all flows are decoded using Cisco's #256 template record. I have some traces which also include some #257 template records, which are 4 bytes longer than the #256 template, but the cflow decode seems to only use the #256 template format regardless of the template id in the flowset header. If a #256 record follows a #257 record then all the fields are offset by an extra four bytes.
 
Is there a way for me to create my own #257 template format in an ASCII file off to the side, and have ethereal look for it when the data contains that value in the flowset header? Or is that compiled into the binary and out of reach?
 
Thanks,
