 Netflow has historically been an ingress only technology. Later versions of Netflow added the option to enable netflow at the egress interface as well.  One way wonder how an analyst can get both the interfaces if Netflow is enabled in one direction only.  The answer lies in the structure of the Netflow record.  Every Netflow record contains both the ingress and egress interface numbers.  Netflow has historically been an ingress only technology.
