Yes, what you're describing is in fact different from the Cisco active
flow timer. The Cisco active flow timer is set relative to the
beginning of the flow, as you indicate, and not a system-wide purge of
the entire cache (I didn't parse that properly in your initial query,
apologies) on some sort of fixed-time basis.
There are folks involved in various NetFlow collection/analysis
efforts on this list, I'm sure one of them or someone from Juniper
will respond. juniper-nsp might also be a good place to ask.
