Abstract
A method is used for monitoring network traffic. For a plurality of time periods, percent utilization of one or more network segments is determined. This is done in order to generate utilization data. The utilization data is organized to produce organized utilization data. The first organized utilization data indicates a percent frequency of the plurality of time periods during which the first network segment is at least equal to each value of percent utilization. The first organized utilization data is displayed in a graph. The graph has a first axis which indicates percent utilization and a second axis which indicates percent frequency.
