All,

        'sh top ?' gives you a bunch of information on the busiest ports
over x interval, which can be 30 to 600 seconds, if memory serves me right.

Good point about "show mac", I'd forgotten that it only gives
the total frame counts, not a count per interval.

A frame can't contain multiple packets, but a large packet
could span many frames. I've always found it helpful to be
specific when referring to frames and packets. But, perhaps
I'm splitting hairs. :-)
