I'm experimenting with the -t flag to automate report creation. My thought was to run it in a cron job at the beginning of every month to tell me how much traffic I'm exchanging with top N ASNs. My understanding of the -t flag is that it will reel back to as close to the beginning of the specified date as there is a capture file for and run through to the most recent date that there is a capture file for. I ran a dump from a bit before my first capture file with no end date specified. The results showed that the end date was in the future; March 1, to be exact. I can't help but to suspect that might be incorrect behavior?
