Unfortunately, the caveats associated with NetFlow on past and current 6500/7600 hardware generally tend to render it unsuitable due to the high likelihood of mls table overflow in most circumstances, along with the lack of TCP flags and insight into dropped traffic.
I should point out that the EARL8 ASIC in the Nexus 7000 rectifies these issues in IDC environments. Presumably, if this newer ASIC is incorporated in future into 6500 and/or 7600 Supervisors and LCs, it would have the same salutary effect for those platforms, as well.
