1. A method for displaying access market network device network traffic statistics for active Internet Protocol (IP) destinations, the method comprising:
maintaining connection-based traffic flows in a packet forwarding path;
receiving data for the connection-based traffic flows and consolidating the data for the connection-based traffic flows based on destination IP address of the connection-based traffic flow, and generating a ranked table of network traffic statistics ordered based on the total packets received and sent across all flows for each ranked destination IP; and
periodically receiving a predetermined number of entries from the ranked table of network traffic statistics to store as a time series and displaying the time series in a graphical user interface (GUI) format.
