sFlow ASIC capabilities

Hi all,

I have a question about sFlow ASICs: is it possible to make them do a
sort of pre-processing on the sampled data? That is, make them send
samples to sFlow collectors only under some specific circumstances (e.g.
traffic to/from a specific IP address, or a specific port, etc) ?
I gave a look at the specification of sFlow v5, but I couldn't find
anything about it.
In your opinion, could it make sense for a vendor that supports sFlow to
include such a feature?

Thanks in advance,
Simone.
