[flow-tools] Re: Peak traffic rate in bytes/sec

[Annie Tong]

Hi Mark,

I have sent this mail out before but since I haven't got the reply from 
you, you might have missed my mail.  I want to add an option for 
flow-stat to print the peak traffic rate for the top talkers in 
bytes/sec for a given period of time.  I'm thinking the logic will be 
something like storing the peak traffic rate for the top talkers for 
each 5 mins interval, and compare the peak rates at the end to find the 
real peak rate value for each top talker.  However since the top talkers 
for each 5 mins interval don't necessary equal to the top talkers for 
the evaluation period, this approach may not be efficient.  Any idea on 
how the logic should be?  I really have no idea on how to approach this, 
so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
