I'm glad learn that the occasional toying around with
statistics I've been trying to do in my spare moments
could be useful for things other than satisfying my
curiosity.  :)

Anyway, yes, this is OK, although sl-kc-2 is an atypically
underloaded backbone router.   All our typical backbone 
routers are extraordinarily busy 7000s with SSPs, and
unfortunately cannot accumulate these kinds of statistics.

It will be interesting to see how things go as the 7513s
like sl-kc-2 become more heavily loaded, and it will also
be interesting to see how long we keep flow switching 
rather than progressing on to Dr Li's longer-term
switching scheme(s).
