NBAR will break down the traffic on the router with respect to
application (it even goes beyond the port and into the content) but I
can't find a tool to create a graphical representation. You have to look
at the counters. Does anyone know a way around this?
Solarwinds is a very easy-to-use and comprehensive monitoring tool. It is
a suite of tools for bandwidth, CPU, uptime, etc...
