are you looking for a netflow collector or a lan monitor?
tools you will probably want to look at
ntop
http://www.ntop.org/overview.html
(straightforward top-like interface to network activity monitoring)
rrdtool
http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/
(more of a toolkit for writing your monitoring package)
RRD supports gathering information from switches and routers
(basically anything with an snmpd)

but I think you'd have to hack something on to accumulate those counts every
so often in case your kernel got panicky or someone pulled the plug ;)
