We used such system in Russia for many years, with a few exceptions: -- did not used SNMP (because it is a sux!), used 'ssh/rsh router show ...' commands instead; - not top 10 traffic flows, but top 10 traffic flows + top 10 unusual traffic flows. Worked effectively.
To bring this back on topic, I imagine I'd be happy with a tool that simply identified top traffic flows and automatically provided me with traceroute and ping results. Though admittedly I'm not sure how useful it would end up i>n real life, it sounds like it could be relatively useful tool in the hands of a someone that understands it.
