Any router that supports SNMP can use MRTG: http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/

Good stuff.

A nice homemade router using one of the various linux firewalls should be able to do what you need. I use Ipcop on an old pentium 3 system...just need 2 NICS and your good to go.

here's a picture of my ipcop traffic graph to see if it's what your looking for.

Another top notch system for SNMP devices....Cacti.

Are you looking for usage of individual PCs? Or on the network as a whole?

I run a *nix router distro called PFSense, it has similar basic graphs like Loopy shows above with his IPCop, but I also installed an additional plugin called BandwidthD....which can break down usage by individual PCs.
