The sflow module samples requests and sends them to an sFlow collector as UDP datagrams, along with counters for the server as a whole. The collector's address and the sampling rate are read from a configuration file, the one host-sflow's hsflowd writes, and the rate travels in every datagram so that a collector can scale the samples back up. This port only installs the module sources. The module itself is built by the nginx ports when their SFLOW option is enabled.
