Hey Steve,

that question can't be answered without a lot of assumptions about the details 
of your project and we made the experience that even with project details it is 
a hard thing to predict due to the nature of network traffic patterns. Pmacct 
(namely nfacctd) can handle that number of flows - even with only one instance 
- and is most probably not the bottleneck. If it is possible what you plan to 
do, depends on questions like "how many records per timebin do you have after 
aggregation in nfacctd" - this is what your backend DB has to handle and "how 
is this data processed later on?" - this has more or less impact on DB 
performance and the time it takes to create reports or feed any user interfaces.

Regards,
Mario
