Mark,

The only example I've seen of that was done by some experimental
flowscan CampusIO extensions.
http://dave.plonka.us/FlowScan/CampusIO.html  
It looks to me like this is supposed to keep using origin-as, but
generate reports for peer-as data.

I'd be interested to know if it works...

Thanks,
        Shane



You'd need 
BGPDumpFile 
This directive is optional and is experimental. In combination with TopN
and ASNFile it causes FlowScan to produce ``Top ASN'' reports which show
the ``top'' Autonomous Systems with which your site exchanges traffic.

The BGPDumpFile value is the name of a file containing the output of
show ip bgp from a Cisco router, ideally from the router that is
exporting flows. If this option is used, and the specified file exists,
it will cause the ``originAS'' and ``pathAS'' reports to be generated. 


ASNFile 
This directive is optional and is only useful in conjunction with
BGPDumpFile. If specified, this directive will cause the AS names rather
than just their numbers to appear in the Top ASN HTML reports. Its value
should be the path to a file having the format of the file downloaded
from this URL:

What if I want to accomplish both getting reports for top
source/destination AS as well as compare the traffic of each of our
providers? I remember writing down each AS of our providers in CUFlow.cf
and using CUGrapher.pl, I'm creating composite in and out traffic graphs
of those four providers.. Given all of our routers configured with
origin-as, does that mean I am displaying wrong graphs with our upstream
providers?
