1. Close TCP connection in case of error …

   This is better than keeping the connection open, as it sends a signal to
   the exporter that something is wrong.
   
   This is also one of the four possible behaviors described by RFC7011 for
   handling malformed IPFIX messages for TCP and SCTP connections. See
   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7011#section-9.1. Note that
   implementing one of these four options is not mandatory. However, the
   RFC also states that:
   
   > the Collecting Process SHOULD stop processing IPFIX Messages
   > from clearly malfunctioning Exporting Processes (e.g., those from
   > which the last few IPFIX Messages have been malformed).
   
   Closing the TCP connection is the easiest thing for us to implement, and
   it makes sense to use IMO.
