We run only IP traffic. I'm not sure how DecNet or other protocols would work out. Unfortunately, my stats are far from perfect because NetFlow will only see the first packet. Everything else in the flow is hardware switched at layer 2. For perfect stats, I would need to have a GSR or some other layer3 only router that will pass all packets through the ip route-cache flow collecting.
