Nope, but considering your account is 2 years old, you should already know that. Cacti isn't a packet analyst tool.

There is already a flowtools plugin that does some of that, but since it relies on the flow-capture binaries, which haven't been updated up stream in a while, you are pretty much limited to Netflow v5. I think I plan on rewriting it in the future to utilize SiLK instead, which does v5, v9, and IPFIX.
