[flow-tools] Peak traffic rate in bytes/sec

[Annie Tong]

Hi,

I want to add an option for flow-stat to print the peak traffic rate for 
the top talkers in bytes/sec for a given period of time.  I'm thinking 
the logic will be something like storing the peak traffic rate for the 
top talkers during each 5 mins interval, and compare the peak rates at 
the end to find the real peak rate value for each top talker.  However 
since the top talkers for each 5 mins interval don't necessary equal to 
the top talkers for the evaluation period, this approach may not be 
efficient.  Any idea on how the logic should be?

Thank you!
