Unfortunately, these graphs are near useless unless you can decipher the axis labels and units, which are not labeled.

Traffic

Various ways of using Wireshark to see the amount of traffic on a network.

IO Graphs

The first way to show IO information is the Wireshark IO Graph, in Statistics > IO Graph.

The IO graph shows a time series of network traffic, which you can change the resolution and scale of, and filter.

Here is the same pcap file; first, the rather boring 1-second resolution:

and the much more interesting 10-minute resolution:

Unfortunately, these graphs are near useless unless you can decipher the axis labels and units, which are not labeled.
