network discovery
hi,
i do not understand how network discovery works. is it based on the flows
(netflow) or packets coming from the network interfaces ?

discovery can be *only* enabled on physical interfaces (i.e. no ZMQ) where
we can send/receive traffic to the network (i.e. read-only interfaces such
as those connected to port mirrors won't work).

best regards
Luca
