Re: WWW "versus" gopher

Quick question,

@ Service Name Port Rank Packet Count % Pkts Rank Byte Count % Byts
@ ============ ==== ==== ============ ====== ==== ============= ======
@ gopher 70 9 1472386850 2.455 6 396066059800 3.470
@ www 80 11 1105399700 1.843 7 347503518500 3.044

Looking at these stats, I would think that the values could be a bit low
for the WWW packet count. The reason I ask is, what about all those
servers out here that exist on other ports, such as, say:

801, 8000, 8080, 4040, etc etc.

Could some rough factoring be added in for them? I just ask since even
it 90% of people used port 80 and only 10% dont (looking at my hotlist
most appear to be on another port :) then that would give new www
figures of:

@ Service Name Port Rank Packet Count % Pkts Rank Byte Count % Byts
@ ============ ==== ==== ============ ====== ==== ============= ======
@ gopher 70 9 1472386850 2.455 6 396066059800 3.470
>> www 80etc xx 1215939670 x.xxx x 382253870355 x.xxx

Which although it keeps the WWW is "7"th place, means that by now it has
already overtaken gopher....

Just a quick hack out at some maths there. Let me know what you all
think :)
