Maybe Im wrong but hey if you are taking 200megs from anyone ASN I would hope you knew about it.Also, that method has the same "knowing the routes" problem as netflow.Whereever you are getting your list of ASN's route ASN.*"'s routes, thereis pretty much no way they are accurate (for an ASN of ANY size). You would have to statically route (or otherwise inject routes with aspecific nexthop) a list of their customer prefixes that would have to bemanually transmitted.
If you are interested in traffic *to* a particular destination, surely you could just tweak localpref on routes based on an as-path filter?
If you are interested in traffic *from* a particular destination (you have a network full of eyes, not content) then this approach is not useful anyway.
