 Below is current tree-stats from a "production" flowlogging application at a 
 large university (real traffic) using this full flow lookup.

 With 100k flows we typically see an aver depth 1.3 and a max depth 4. Right 
 now there is only a dst entry in leaf nodes. So yes anything else we can put 
 in leaf is "free".

trie:
        Aver depth:     1.31
        Max depth:      4
        Leaves:         99930
        Internal nodes: 14925
          1: 13450  2: 1465  3: 9  18: 1
        Pointers: 294976
Null ptrs: 180122
Total size: 7259  kB

Cheers.
