If my servers are watching Netflix all day I’ve got another problem way
beyond traffic visibility.

I know solutions like Kentik do a lot more but I’m focusing on just the

Might want to re-think that. In a world where some eyeball networks are
reporting that 60%+ of the traffic is Netflix, there's a big difference
between the Netflix CDN cloud and having a local Netflix cache box on
the local net. Akamai is another company making coin assuming it does
matter.

(I'm assuming you don't actually know what percent of your traffic is
Netflix/Akamai - if you already had that breakout, you'd not be asking
for suggestions as you have already have an in-house solution...)
