Or start with http://www.nlanr.net/NA. The work we have done there on
the flows stuff for years (and published papers and kc's dissertation
and so) had actually influenced Cisco in their development. The only
thing new I have seen from Sean is that it is from Sprintlink routers.
E.g., read IEEE JSAC Vol 13 #8 pp 1481. Or http://www.nlanr.net/Papers/
for versions of miscellaneous papers.
