if you have sar installed (package is sysstat) then sar -n DEV will give you 10 minute network counters, it will give you 1 minute data if you turn sar's sample timer down to 1 minute. snmp if you router supports it, and I have also ssh'ed into my router ever X minutes and collected its network stats on routers that did not properly support snmp.
