DstIf/SrcIf vs InIf/OutIf naming

[simPod]

Hi, what is the reason for naming fields as DstIf and SrcIf? So far I have seen InIf and OutIf naming for the same thing. Thanks!

Mostly consistency with other fields (source IP, source port...). But no other reasons.
Is it causing conflicts?

[simPod]

@lspgn Thanks for response! No conflicts. But it's usually called input and output so I wonder that it might be confusing. Also, src and dst fields represent something else in flow. Those are really info about packet's source and destination but inif and outif represent interfaces on the device where the flow is recorded. WDYT?

Hello, I agree on this one, even more considering the name of the corresponding fields for NetFlow

SrcIf | ... | input  | ... | INPUT_SNMP (10)  | ...
DstIf | ... | output | ... | OUTPUT_SNMP (14) | ...

Coming back to this a bit late.
This makes sense, I will change the protobuf field names (or feel free to PR).
Though I was not very eager to change the data structure since some people may use this as a library (but as long as I keep the IDs the same it is fine).

👍 I'll look into it. Releasing with proper version bump should then be IMO k.
