Feature request: Application Grouping

Feature request: Application Grouping

Hello,

Once Again, a superb product.

Would you consider a new feature to be added into your Roadmap? Specifically, the ability to group "Applications" together. For example, I would like to classify edonkey2000, kazza, bittorrent, etc.. all under one "Application Group" called "P2P Applications".

I realize I could simply rename all those individual Applications as the same name, and NFA would consider them all the same application. However, I would lose "granularity" of which P2P app it was.

Likewise, I could simply "Calc Sum" the total of all the individual P2P apps manually for each report I want to generate. However, it would be nice to have an automated way of doing this.

My suggestion (FWIW) is to do your "Top Applications" much like this:


Application Traffic Percentage of Total
------------ -------- -----------------------
P2P Apps 2245 MB 23% [XXXXX_____________]
edonkey 985 MB 43% [XXXXX___]
bittorrent 650 MB 28% [XXX_____]
kazza 610 MB 27% [XX______]
HTTP Apps 2167 MB 22% [XXXXX____________]
http 2000 MB 92% [XXXXXXX_]
squid-cache 165 MB 8% [X_______]
https 2 MB 1% [X_______]
TCP_App 1501 MB 16% [XXX_______________]
pop3 20 MB 1% [X_________________]

...
...rest of grouped and individual-applications-here sorted by percentage...
...


















Thanks for listening.
