  1. Enable Traffic-Flow on the router as:

[admin@MikroTik] ip traffic-flow> set enabled=yes
[admin@MikroTik] ip traffic-flow> print
                enabled: yes
             interfaces: all
          cache-entries: 1k
    active-flow-timeout: 30m
  inactive-flow-timeout: 15s
[admin@MikroTik] ip traffic-flow>

2. Specify IP address and port of the host, which will receive Traffic-Flow packets:

[admin@MikroTik] ip traffic-flow target> add dst-address=<CCE IP> port=9995 version=9
[admin@MikroTik] ip traffic-flow target> print
Flags: X - disabled 
 #   SRC-ADDRESS       DST-ADDRESS        PORT     VERSION
 0   0.0.0.0           192.168.0.2        2055     9  
[admin@MikroTik] ip traffic-flow target>

Now the router starts to send packets with Traffic-Flow information.
