I agree with the netflow data, it's easy on the router, no super huge database required, and here is a link to a demo for a product I've used before that may just fit the bill for you, I have used the free edition (monitors two interfaces)for some time now for a customers dedicated line and it works nicely with lots of handy reporting. Let me know if this helps, thanks!
