However some statistic per flow (such as metering) we want to query statistics per bucket (not flow specific). Or scenarios where customers can do random sampling (per ENI). Dump the card (flows) for the customer to sample. Not close tracking/reporting on every single flow to the controller. More documentation will be forthcoming as we continue the project.
Based on the discussion in Community meeting today, please help confirm/clarify the following understanding:
