NAM inside looks like LinuxPC with some preinstalled software.

It is able to perform some analysis using 6500 internal SPAN sessions.
It is also able to perform some basic Netflow analysis (Netflow could
be originated inside chassis as well as from any other network device).

So NAM is not intended for forwarding traffic information for analysis to 
external tools. It is analyzer by itself.
