Sure, but you have to know what you're looking for. You can't detect
anything outside of a "norm" if you don't know what that norm is. Trace the
bandwidth patterns over a period of time, preferably a month or two at
least, and that will give you a good baseline, but find out from your boss
how he defines 'norm'.
