[nsp] Netflow Questions on a 2621

[Clinton Work]

I have often used Netflow on 2600s during troubleshooting to find/block
DOS attacks and large traffic flows. I see no problem with enabling netflow
export with your traffic levels and CPU load.

Netflow has been supported since 12.0 mainline. I have used it on 12.0(10) 
IP / IP PLUS and later.
