feature: it will be very cool if nfcapd switch '-n' allow specifying port to listen to. not globally single '-p' but per-configured exporter

so single nfcapd process can listen at multiple ports with its-own configuration... is will reduce administrative efforts and socket congestion when gathering data at single port is not possible (too large number of flows).

Ok - I see the point. In order to be effective, these different listeners should go in their own threads. This take a bit more work, but I would keep it on my todo list.

@phaag please just keep the current behavior and add this functionality as an extra, as for most scenarios, single port is enough.

@gabrielmocan - no worries - the default remains a single port. As I mentioned, this requires more work to implement. Meanwhile as a workaround, one can startup multiple collectors on multiple ports.
