Comment (by juga):

 The scanner country can be added to the headers.
 Currently, we are not reporting which destinations are used, not in the
 headers nor in the bandwidth lines, so we should:
 - report which destinations are used. In the headers or for each bandwidth
 line?
 - if we report the destinations in the headers, we can also report their
 countries.
   if we report the destination in each bandwidth line, the country of each
 destination can still be reported in the headers.

 Also, when the destination is in a CDN, we could know from which country
 is replying by solving the IP address from the exit, but that would add
 more complexity.
 I'm adding instead "00" as country code for a CDN, meaning that we don't
 know from where it's reached.
