Monitoring internet traffic types

[tre4bax]

One of my goals in starting a journey with OpnSense was to get an idea of the protocols travelling on my network.  I want to be able to monitor my network and to see what is being used and in what volume etc.  Some of my interest is in a lot of traffic showing that I really do not understand.

I am assuming Suricata is a route to this with appropriate rules loaded, though it does not seem to have a great set of reporting functions.  Could anyone point me in a direction that it would be logical to travel with this?  I appreciate it may not be possible, in which case how close can I get using the IPS system?
