About Flow Statistics

If you enable flow counters, you can enable a maximum of 1 K entries for aggregate flow and flow
statistics. Be sure to assign an unused flow index to a module for each new flow. Flow indexes can be
repeated across modules. The number space for flow index is shared between the aggregate flow
statistics and the flow statistics.
Generation 1 modules allow a maximum of 1024 flow statements per module. Generation 2 modules
allow a maximum of 2048-128 flow statements per module.
