A squid proxy can be useful for this, but obviously only for http/https traffic, and proxying isn't without its problems. Otherwise, 'netflow' is a useful keyword to use when googling. Of course all of this relies on either your linux server being the router (or in a position to intercept all traffic), or your router supporting the export of netflow data to your server for processing.
