You need to define what you mean by "monitor" and what your equipment will let you do.
I have addressed in detail some aspects of this type of traffic monitoring in http://www.slac.stanford.edu/comp/net/netflow/SLAC-Netflow.html Currently I am using netflow, however in the past I have done the same thing with strategically placing rmon1 and rmon2 probes around the network. There are several vendors which provide products to do what you want. They not only have the software but the hardware. Check some of the trade magazines, and go to a convention something like Networld+ Interop in May 2002. There is an awful lot to learn.

Or is there a MIB for that out there?
