There was supposed to be a 'should' in there, apologies.

I've already clarified that VLAN/VRF is Good Enough for flow telemetry, 
and that most who separate it out from customer traffic do so logically.

There are a few very large networks who do this completely physically 
out-of-band; they made the decision that they were going to invest in 
the ability to ship telemetry around and analyze it, and spent a lot of 
capex and opex to be able to do just that.
