Section 7.2 says:
Consequently, an Exporting Process reporting traffic Flows measured at a device that hosts one or more middleboxes should clearly indicate to Collecting Processes the location of the used Observation Point(s) with respect to the middlebox(es). This can be done by using Options with Observation Point as scope and elements like, for instance, lineCardID or samplerID. Otherwise, processing the measured Flow data could lead to wrong results.
It should say:
