Description Alex Kishkin 2011-05-03 02:44:44 AEST 
rfc 3954 states 

  Padding
         The Exporter SHOULD insert some padding bytes so that the
         subsequent FlowSet starts at a 4-byte aligned boundary.  It is
         important to note that the Length field includes the padding
         bytes.  Padding SHOULD be using zeros.

but now softflowd uses random bytes for padding data flowsets.
