netflow tools - Sep 2014 - softflowd dropping packets in high speed network traffic.

Hi,

I have two questions about softflowd.

1.  Is there any multithread supported version of softflowd?

2.  I have installed softflowd (Revision: 80aac3b2fec3). In case of
high speed network traffic, it starts dropping packets.
     How will it handle high speed network traffic?


I have tried it and the output is given below:

Command run:

 softflowd  -i eth3 -n 192.168.50.2:9995 -v 10 -d -t maxlife=300 -A milli
