Grafana dashboard: Network Traffic Flow Analysis
Description: A dashboard to display the various autonomous systems a router is communicating with.

This dashboard visualizes the data collected by [Flow Exporter](https://github.com/neptune-networks/flow-exporter) to showcase which autonomous systems a series of routers are exchanging traffic with.

It allows you to filter the data by an ASN (which can be handy for justifying peering relationships), as well as allows you to filter the host that processed the flow.
