Thanks for pointing out those RFCs. We're still using v5 for accounting, 
so my behavior was quite straightforward:
can v5 count ipv6 ? No, what's next netflow version can ? v9? Ok, let's 
implement v9.

However, IPFIX seems to be very much like v9 at a first glance. 
Moreover, ng_ksocket can handle udp/tcp/sctp exports.
