Suffixing timestamps as a way to include timing information

Open ckreibich opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

DJ Gregor suggested one could simply append the flow's timestamp to the end of the ID when wanting to filter out clashing, unrelated flows. Doing so would allow you to prefix-match on the resulting overall string, which somewhat isolates you from the clock-rollaround problems naive inclusion of timestamps would have.
