Earl in Module 5
Detailed Netflow CAM (TCAM and ICAM) Utilization
================================================
TCAM Utilization             :   100%
ICAM Utilization             :   7%
Netflow TCAM count           :   262026
Netflow ICAM count           :   10
Netflow Creation Failures    :   456680
Netflow CAM aliases          :   0

I guess I need to get more aggressive on the flow aging.  I've been using
mls aging fast time 8 threshold 3
mls aging long 480
mls aging normal 32
