But again you can't ever go 'back in time' for an ad hoc query with them so it's probably more interesting as an augment and offloader for most uses where you'd normally think of storing many billions or a few trillion flows.

Hmm, I'm trying to figure out the application here. You have single prefixes originated or originate-able by more than 5 or 6 ASs? I see - is it that you have, say a /16 with 13 potential ASs that might be seen as originating more specifics inside that /16? Hadn't considered that; we were envis
