As others have said, ntop does a good job.  Another option I have used
is mrtg.  You could have mrtg monitor the bandwidth to the port where
the server plugs into the switch, or monitor the server nic itself.

Subject: How much network traffic per app?

 

I have been asked to determine what the network traffic is for a
particular client/server app. Other than running some bandwidth tests,
and then running them while running the application is about the best
thing I came up with. Is there any particular software that could do
something like that? A sniffer and such wouldn't tell me bandwidth used.
We are deciding whether a terminal server (75k/user) is better than vpn
for the particular app. 

 

Personally I like TS for the other advantages but I need to have
something close to accurate. 

 

Thx
