    <p>Hi Tim,</p>
    <p>That absolutely depends on the amount of TAGs you use, and how
      you aggregate, etc.<br>
      I am collecting DSTAS, SRCAS, en DST AS per IP. And influx is not
      even sweating a single drop....</p>
    <p>We have a 4 Tbps of traffic during peak, and as well as pmacct
      and influxdb or running very very smooth.<br>
    </p>
    <p>(With the mentioned aggregations I can see what a single customer
      costs with Transit, Peering and IX (per IP even if needed) )<br>
      And dst AS per port/description/ethernet name<br>
    </p>
    <p>From your mail i derive that you just pushed everything to influx
      from flows, you have to be a bit smarter with the layout,
      aggregations and continuous queries.<br>
      (collect what you need)<br>
