Abstract
A system tracks, in a network device with multiple links, activity over a respective link for a predetermined amount of time. The activity comprises at least one of a number of idle periods or a duration of a respective idle period. The system divides a predetermined time interval into a number of bins. A bin is associated with a range of time. The system stores the tracked activity in data structure entries which each indicate the number of bins, a duration of time associated with a respective bin, and a count associated with the respective bin. The system indicates the tracked activity in the entry for the respective link by incrementing a count associated with a bin matching the duration of the respective idle period based on a first number of idle periods tracked for the matching duration. The system displays the stored tracked activity for the respective link.
