Why do you need packets when there's already bytes?

A flow is a flow (hash on the regular 5-tuple). Unless you install
custom tc filters, in which case a flow could be anything you want it to
be...

Hmm, guess we could do "number of hosts per tin" accounting as well as
flows. But it would be bloating up the already bloated statistics. But
on the other hand, they are already quite bloated, so another pair of
stats maybe wouldn't make much of a difference?

Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
