My personal opinion is ucd-snmp and MRTG (usual places already mentioned)
coupled with Traffic.php (http://bjorn.swift.st/) which allows you to see
the exact cumulative traffic for a specific period. It uses the MRTG logs
directly, so you can sit it in the same web-viewable directory as your
MRTG stats, and add the link to the header of the mrtg.conf, for easy
accessibility. You can also add ethernet or whatever other traffic logs
you use MRTG to keep track of.

Regards,

Craig Foster
