I'm very glad to hear this, as duplicated code for different stats is

In the long term we might need both. I "often" have to deal with TCP
problems, so a dedicated TCP graph of that kind might be useful too.
However, the graph you describe seems to be useful too, so having both
general and specific graphs for different purposes seems to be a good idea.

Thanks from me too.

As the VoIP graph is looking very nice and seems to be useful (but I
don't use VoIP), having some more sophisticated "stats" in a general
purpose way is the way we should go in my eyes.

P.S: Please keep an eye on GUI consistency, e.g. the button shouldn't be
called "Write to file" but "Save As" as in some other dialogs.
