Sending flowrecords to your slow ppc CPU just to allow export in non-HW interface is silly, when HW can export it directly, without ever hitting your control-plane. Polling SNMP is low volume, so you easily allow RP to poll for them from HW. But implementing this also in HW would be interesting for low-interval SNMP polling, then it also would stop working in your non-HW interfaces. > Again, the analogy is with SNMP.

Sure, if performance is not important and if you're too poor to buy interface in your router. -- ++ytti
