Nice one. I would like to see this included.

I also have some feature suggestions (if its not yet possible):

1. logarithmic scale for bandwith and time options
2. draw incoming positive and outgoing negative in the same graph or
   vice versa
3. stack the different protocols on top of each other
4. draw line or bar graphs
5. smoothing of the graph (e.g. each point is the average bandwith
   over the last hour while points are 10m apart, i.e. they overlap
   timewise)
6. draw multiple views of the same data in one graph (e.g. unsmooth as
   bars, 1h avg. and 1d avg as lines overlayed)
