Umm.. what *exactly* is upstream of that interface? I strongly suspect that it's *heavily* influenced by *local* preferences/configuration. For instance, at *all* timescales (5-min, hour, day, week, year), as I write this, SMTP and SSH are on the same order of magnitude. However, in the global net, there's massive problems with SMTP spam, and the "average user" certainly doesn't use SSH to the same extent as e-mail.... Unless of course, that was your point, and I managed to miss it.
