Thanks for the various replies.  Now that the wiki is back I also took
a look at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/bwmon?s[]=bandwidth.

The "bmon" doesn't seem to give me enough details (it only splits "per
interface" so I can't distinguish the traffic generated by different
machines).

OTOH, I'm currrently trying out darkstat, fprobe+ntop, and bandwidthd.
I must say the fprobe approach is attractive since I do have a more
powerful server right next to my old OpenWRT router, so it works
very nicely.  OTOH ntop seems to forget data a bit too quickly for my
taste so far, IOW it seems to focus on a finer time granularity.  pmacct
sounds very promising (especially together with fprobe), but it seems
more targetted towards actual accounting than towards analyzing usage,
tho I expect sure there's some pmacct frontend for my use somewhere.

I added fprobe and pmacct links to
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/bwmon?s[]=bandwidth.
