This tools shows the Trace file as a sortable table
It's helps to determine, analyze, diagnose what is causing such high load
also you can see a sortable table of MAC addresses, IP addresses and Ports
on eatch table you can find the amount of every MAC/IP/Port that appears at the trace file

To do a trace at 8600 enter the following commands:
trace clear
trace screen off
trace level 9 3
wait a minute or two and start to log the session
(save the output to log file)
trace off
trace info

after that you enter the 'info' you will see alot of lines that shows what the CPU was doing at that time
