Hi Aaron,

In addition to snmp, there are some linux tools you could use also. I 
like vnstat (http://humdi.net/vnstat/) to monitor at the interface 
level. It's very easy to install/configure and I haven't had any issues 
with it. There's also a very nice PHP front end for it should you like 
to be able to view the stats via a web browser 
(http://www.sqweek.com/sqweek/index.php?p=1).

If you want to know which IPs on your network are hogging up the 
bandwidth, take a look at nacctd 
(http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/8/nacctd.html). Its variant 
netacct-mysql is the one I use as it writes stats to a mysql db which 
you can query to your heart's content or even write up some php to 
display the info on a web page for you.

Best Regards, -Alain.
