Quick question,

@  Service Name       Port  Rank Packet Count % Pkts  Rank   Byte Count  % Byts
@  ============       ====  ==== ============ ======  ==== ============= ======
@  gopher               70     9   1472386850  2.455     6  396066059800  3.470
@  www                  80    11   1105399700  1.843     7  347503518500  3.044

Looking at these stats, I would think that the values could be a bit low
for the WWW packet count. The reason I ask is, what about all those
servers out here that exist on other ports, such as, say:

801, 8000, 8080, 4040, etc etc.

Could some rough factoring be added in for them? I just ask since even
it 90% of people used port 80 and only 10% dont (looking at my hotlist
most appear to be on another port :) then that would give new www
figures of:

@  Service Name       Port  Rank Packet Count % Pkts  Rank   Byte Count  % Byts
@  ============       ====  ==== ============ ======  ==== ============= ======
@  gopher               70     9   1472386850  2.455     6  396066059800  3.470
>> www                  80etc xx   1215939670  x.xxx     x  382253870355  x.xxx

Which although it keeps the WWW is "7"th place, means that by now it has
already overtaken gopher....

Just a quick hack out at some maths there. Let me know what you all
think :)

Paul
