It's got nothing to do with netflow ... the traffic matrix is generated
based on the packets seen (whether they're on a real device or the netflow
pseudo-device is irrelevant).

Flows might work for smaller cases ...

For example, I use:

-F "Time='host ntp-cup.external.hp.com or wuarchive.wustl.edu or
clock.psu.edu or ntp2.kansas.net'"

To aggregate the count of traffic to/from the ntp servers I use, giving me
this (well, imagine it's an html page):

Flow Name Packets Traffic
Time      16      1.5 KB

You can add a few more, but it all becomes filters applied to each packet,
and so you don't want too much on a busy system...

If you're looking for more aggregation, more data, etc., then since I have
no interest/need for any further aggregation - the Local-Local matrix meets
my needsi - I suggest you either code it yourself (we'd love the
contribution) or contact Luca directly WRT sponsoring the development
effort.

So, if I understand correctly, I cannot aggregate on any Netflow traffic
Key Field for the moment.

Will we have aggregation schemes support in the future?

I was exploring with the -F option but I am a bit confused on what
it is supposed to do.

As "site" I would define a number of subnets behind the local router.
