There is a list of all the tools that support sFlow here:
http://www.sflow.org/products/collectors.php
but not all of them will take advantage of the VLAN information that
is included in sFlow.
I do know that this tool (from our company) includes a "top vlans"
chart that will give you the quantitative data you are looking for:

To turn on the sFlow feed from the Brocade (Foundry) devices, it is
just a few commands at the CLI:

Hello everyone,
We have been using netflow for a long time and recently a request
was sent
by other group in our company asking for vlan traffic statistic on
some
Foundry devices, apparent netflow does not support this layer2 info
so i am
looking into sflow solution now, before i take a deep dive, i have the
following two questions I wish someone can give me a quick answer.
1)sflow supports vlan in its format, so what is the quickest way to
pull
traffic count in a spefic vlan?
2)what applicatioin will you guys recomment to store the history
data and
display the result in some sort of GUI interface?
Thanks in adavce !
