There are several tools that will collect interface traffic data via
SNMP and record it so you can graph, show high/low/average values over a
time span, etc. Cacti (in the epel repo) is probably the easiest to set
up, OpenNMS (http://www.opennms.org) probably the most complete. These
could also get their data from a port on a managed switch or router if
that makes it easier to show the connections you need to split out.
