[netflow-tools] softflowd and AS numbers?

Hello everybody

As far as I remember, the netflow protocol should support
the extraction of ASN (autonomous system numbers). If I am
right, it would be nice to integrate softflowd with openbgpd
to deliver the ASN in the exported flows.

I could imagine some sort of lookup via bgpctl read-only socket and
cache the result inside softflowd's memory structures for further
usage.

Could be something for the TODO list, right?
