  Is this router also a Foundry? We've had a lot of trouble getting
  clean Netflow data off our Foundries. We finally gave up and went
  with a software probe system and our data got MUCH cleaner. Flows
  actually balanced and made sense.

  In other words, if you're doing your netflow exports off of a
  Foundry, I wouldn't trust your base-line data very much.
