Hi,

I make use of two little nice programs (Both under Linux though....) 
One is to generate some nice graphs from all the traffic that is passing
through a certain device on the network. For this purpose I make use of
the program MRTG in combination with MRTG-eth-probe. Both of these
programs can be found on http://freshmeat.net

Another program that I use is darkstat. With this program I can see which
hosts where responsible for all the traffic that has gone through a
certain device. I have been trying to make some changes to the darkstat
program to make it generate a nice list of all the internal machines
in my NAT-network and how much data they are generating through our
internetconnection (Inbound, Outbound and Total per host) I can also see
the total amount of data that was taken of the wire. 

Hope this is what you need,


Guido
