If you are worried instead about the low volume of traffic seen from this
AS, keep in mind the following:
1. You are probably using sampling on your router. NFSEN accounts for
sampling and tries to guesstimate some of the values.
2. You may have some spoofed traffic in your network that sends few packets
(hence the very short duration), but because of sampling, you get a high
count of packets (and usually this is a "round" number).
