I've had that happen before. It turned out my router was dropping records in 
it's netflow reporting. I had to increase the memory allocation for netflow 
on the router (Enterasys Xpedition).

I also changed the reporting frequency to 60 minutes. Short duration flows are 
still reported as they expire but longer flows are not reported except on the 
hour.
