I agree 24 lines are too many (probably for anyone, cetainly for me 
:-)).  But they represent the traffic rate across 24 different switches,
therefore I've been thinking, for a long time, whether it is sensible to
(say) separate into two graphs.  The problem is the switches are of the
same type in the same geographical regions.  So I'm not sure if separaion
will result in misinforming people...

Cheers,

Kevin
