Actually, it is more often than you think.  No use routing packets if you can't see what they do.

Otherwise no Cisco would ever have been sold.

Which is utter nonsense, of course, since Cisco a) invented flow telemetry and b) has been the consistent leader in 
innovating flow telemetry (FNF, IPFIX, anyone?).  The EARL6/EARL7 problems are the only stumbles Cisco has made in 
this regard.

Roland,

Please stop digging, Sounds like you haven’t used Cisco recently.  I’m happy to elaborate privately.
