<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a problem I
am trying to solve. I am working with an ISP and I want to display
traffic and signalling flows in real time on a graph display on some wall
mounted displays.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to show

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>So for example I
want to show graphs of activity based on</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Customer traffic
- A graph of the aggregate of a number of subnets</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Radius server - A
graph of UDP port 1812 and 1813 to and from the Radius
Servers</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. DNS server - A

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. NAT traffic - A

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>For interception, I
have a switch network with monitoring ports. This works
now.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>For collection I can
use NetFlow or a pcap based tool.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>For display I need
an aggregation function and a display function.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. That the displays
be in as near to real time as I can get</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. The graphs make
maximum use of the screen (so they can be seen from across a room on the big
screens)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>In some Web based displays, the browser and white space takes up as
much room as the graph</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>So is there an
existing tool which does this ? Maybe not ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a tool
which is close to this in open source which I can modify ? This is the
more likely scenario.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343355812-12072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or would you
recommend that I use some existing aggregation mechanism and write the graphs
myself from scratch ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
