Is it possible to move protocol-specific stuff out of struct ndpi_flow_struct into something else and leave something like void* protocol_data pointing to a protocol-specific stuff? Well, I dunno, probably it's not the best solution.

IMHO most of the L7 protocol stuff is already a union.

It could be worth checking if the struct members especially arrays could be reduced or removed i.e. host_server_name requires 80 bytes per flow, but from my experience, I think that that the array size is a waste of memory most of the times.
