I have some software to do that.. it's not complete yet. Basically it uses 
a packet-sniffer to count the packets passing over a given interface, 
does aggregation and breakdown, and puts them in MySQL.

Think a poor man's NARUS STA or perhaps Cisco Flow.  :)

Right now it produces WAY too much data (400K rows per day) and I haven't 
figured out how to make nice graphs of it yet. But I already have per-IP 
and per-protocol reports.
