I think what people would want is a simple and effective tool to check it
in a easy way. Sure you can check your bandwith and see more incoming, but
what then? What would a person do to identify the ip or packets to quickly
diagnose and block that person.

Usually by the time i want to investigate they stop, or my isp sends me an
email that they blocked certain ips because of a attack (they do as long as
it doesn't impact the segment)
