Denmarks implementation of the law is overkill compared to what the
directive actually says. The Swedish law doesn't require this.

I haven't looked into the final law text but I did an analysis of an
earlier text in my blog (in Swedish, I'm afraid):

  http://hack.org/mc/blog/datalagringsdirektiv.html

In short, if you are a provider that falls under the LEK law

  https://lagen.nu/2003:389

and are registered with the PTS as such a provider you are supposed to
store:

  - Telephony: 

    + Numbers and or IP addresses if it's IP telephony, but *only* if
      it's bridged to POTS.
    + Registrated user.
    + Timestamp.
    + Endpoints.

    and some extra stuff if it's a cell phone. Note that straight SIP to
    SIP, Skype or any other IP-only telephony is not covered.

  - Mail and SMS

    + Adresses.
    + Registrated user.
    + Timestamp.

  - Internet connection (probably PPP/PPPoE/IP over cable, DHCP, et cetera)

    + IP addresses
    + Registrated user
    + Timestamps.
    + Endpoint addresses (things like switch port and used MAC address)

All this might already be covered by your ordinary logs. You might have
to store them longer to be compliant with the new law, but that's
probably the only thing you have to do. There's no need to use Netflow
or peek at the actual traffic, AFAIK.

Note, though, IANAL.
