Yes. Something like

source       dest            bytes packets
212.9.190.63 213.209.108.155 2144 23
82.185.97.58 212.9.190.63 300 5
80.174.98.138 212.9.190.63 144 3
67.18.120.34 212.9.190.63 2372 6
[...]

That's not flow-based, but just an hourly dump of the traffic
the interface has seen during the last hour.

For v6, I'd like to have some flow-based approach.

I'll investigate the suggestions from the list. If I find something,
I'll summarise.
