Hence, a continuing "feature request/enhancement" that I've asked for before - 
i.e. "Sort by / Summarize by / Filter by" Source ASN and/or Dest ASN.

Would allow me to answer questions like:
        1. "Which ASN am I receiving most of my traffic from/to, and hence, who 
should I think about doing private peering with, to offset some of my transit 
costs?"
        2. "How much of my traffic goes/comes from Google?" (ASN 15169)

My Routers already send "Origin/Destination ASN" as part of their flow summary. 
I don't know if the IMFlow collector is saving this information in the database 
or simply dropping/ignoring it. I hope the former... Hence this should be "in 
the pipeline" for a future IMFlows update to make this useful for traffic 
planning purposes. (I dislike using 2 different tools of I can do it in one.!)

P.S. JunOS config for Netflow v5, which includes origin/destination ASN 
information: http://juniper.cluepon.net/Cflowd_configuration
