[ale] Bandwidth tracking

[Christopher Fowler]

mrtg retrieves its data from snmp.  I believe almost all data comes from 
/proc/net/snmp.  Net-snmp gets its info for Linux from that source.

I gathered form the question that the user would like to have possibly
his router keep track of all bandwidth used per IP that maybe on 
a private segment behind the router.  I think but am not sure that
QoS will do this for you.  It is possible that maybe a package exists that
sits on a net in promiscuous mode and adds up the data per host.  That would
be a cool program.
