Good question. Without thinking about it I saw in my mind's eye a situation we used to see at $EX-EMPLOYER (who was fond of the absolute smallest-dollar-amount-per-immediate-problem "solutions") who bout toy 4-port hubs by the pallet-load. These little gems had the endearing habit of spewing random bits onto the wire whenever the wall-wart failed--which they frequently did. I had MRTG graphs of every switch and router port so I could quickly determine which leg the current culprit was on. Never solved the problem of having two or three go bad, which, believe it or not, complicates the issue. But the graphs did allow me to identify the port and shut it down saving the rest of the network.
