What are you looking at when you analyze this data? I've seen uses such as top 10 destination AS's for peering evaluations. What else? Billing?

Also to get some application-specific bandwidth utilization numbers.
I wonder how do you map your netflow data to applications? (if I understood correctly what you´re saying)
The caveat is that Netflow is useful for this purpose on a smallish test/research network, in which port numbers and/or combinations of port numbers and server addresses correllate to an application, which is what I happen to be doing. Naturally on a public backbone you'd want to substitute "port-specific" for "application-specific".
