there is a second limit here, which is the netflow channel capacity / storage limit, if you introduce simulated flows at a rate beyond this capacity, you may become unobservable (via loss) resulting in failure to correlate. this is why i asked about logical injection via userspace of billions of flows per minute as a resistance measure. (e.g. scapy or other raw inject across a border with cooperating peer, if needed.) best regards,
