If your devices support it you can use NetFlow to get near real-time bandiwdth and other stats. I haven't used it but FlowScan is a free open source NetFlow tool with an RRD backend.

There is a windows network grapher out there that monitors per second and updates the graph too. I can't remember the name of it, but it can be set up to write the data out to a log file in a configurable timeframe (every minute up to about every 99 hours). It is based on MRTG and works fairly well from what I remember. It's a little finicky about the memory it uses (I think it had a memory leak), but the name of the application escapes me. I'll go hunting for it, but I'm not sure it's still out in the wild.
