Emulating game traffic...  Good luck with that.  You'll probably have to figure it out and build your own models per 
service, though a lot is encapsulated in https.

In terms of showing it to the public, look at Zabbix and Zenoss; both do dashboards and managing multiple realtime 
monitoring / performance info feeds well.

I could roll something with RRD and Smokeping but with all the packet-shaping crapola (including that which we use 
here) I need something that emulates the actual game traffic as would be classified by all the network crap that 
endeavors to mess with it.


(not intended to be an argument about QoS and prioritization, responses addressing either --or the politics thereof-- 
really aren't helpful).
