What data do you want dumped?  Instantaneous total bandwidth?
Instantaneous bandwidth for all hosts?

I'm reluctant to put this in as there are other tools available to graph
bandwidth usage over a long period of time, in the same way that there
are tools to graph CPU usage over time and this functionality is
therefore not included in top.
