But to start with, just solving the data storage problem is a 
good place to start. If someone can create a specialized 
network monitoring database that scales, then the rest of the 
toolkit will be much easier to deal with. Note that people 
have done a lot of research on this sort of time-series 
database. People working in high-energy physics also have to 
deal with massive sets of time-series data.
There is plenty of literature out there to help guide a 
design effort. But Open-Source developers don't usually do 
this kind of up-front research before starting coding.
Money and manpower won't solve that kind of problem.


How about something like:
