That's the only field in flows with different storage sizes depending on the architecture: it's usually 4-byte wide on 32-bit architectures, except for arc and x32 where it's 8 bytes, and 8-byte wide on 64-bit machines.
As discussed on the call, I think there are broader problems with transferring timestamps than just the structure size. So I'm hoping we can work out how to not transfer them at all and avoid this change.
This change is not related to the fact that we ignore or use them. It's about making the flow entries the same size, which we need, at least with this implementation. -- Stefano
