That's going to be impossible because the effective limitation for network bandwidth will always be on the external connection to the internet. The 2 computers on my home network use a 54 Mbps wireless connection to a router which has an asynchronous interface to the internet (2,668 Kbps downstream, 448 Kbps upstream). My computers can only directly monitor their own usage of the LAN, but that has 20 times the capacity of the internet connection. Knowing the total traffic to/from the internet would require a query to the router.
