thank you, big picture instead of microscope sounds good. some concerns (besides my last foray with x caused problems many years ago). it says there are 24 forks, but clicking only leads to one...by guy serioiusly intto bitcoin and other marginal stuff. installed etherape easily, but it won't run, asking for gtk and libpcap, neither of which seem clear as to where to get them or what the corect version is. the link puportedly for lippcap brought an opera browser, but not pointing at any useful website. probably beyond my pay grade.

There is an interesting tool called etherape. It will generate real-time graphs of the traffic on the monitored interface. Last time I used it the downside was that an X or equivalent display was required.
It will take PCAP files and generate graphs.
I have used it to track down odd traffic problems. Its good for looking at the big picture. wireshark is more of a microscope.
