port/service/customer?

Well, more on the lines of:

* Bandwidth per service type (i.e different games run on different UDP
Ports, then theres WEB/IRC etc) - Whats peered? Transit? which Transit? etc.
* Discovering multiple connections from a single source outside the network
to multiple ports internally (i.e to stop people trying to bypass the
authentication system).

And of course traffic analysis per AS to look at the potential for migrating
to new exchange points (i.e AMSIX,DECIX,PARIX etc) is a nice byproduct ;-)
