Multi Router Traffic Grapher [8] which is a tool to monitor traffic load on network links.The graphs indicate that CPU utilization may not be very high in many routers.Such routers could be used for performing more rigorous computation on the datagrams.It is also likely that certain routers remain heavily used for a certain period of time, but only incur low traffic at other points in time.It is also this kind of routers that could support computation on datagrams.
