Is there any Splunk recommended best practice for ingesting Netflow data ?

For Syslog, Splunk recommends using a dedicated syslog server.

So, for Netflow data, is there any particular best practices for ingesting into Splunk ?

Can I still continue using syslog server even for Netflow data or use Splunk stream app ?

Please advise. Thanks.
