Also, that method has the same "knowing the routes" problem as netflow.
Whereever you are getting your list of ASN's route ASN.*"'s routes, there
is pretty much no way they are accurate (for an ASN of ANY size).
You would have to statically route (or otherwise inject routes with a
specific nexthop) a list of their customer prefixes that would have to be
manually transmitted.
