I think we're on the same wavelength here...
If your Hub/Router whatever supports SNMP read management (i.e, Cisco
kit does), you can use a program, called the Multi Router Traffic
Grapher, (MRTG), from
http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html. You setup a
cron job for every 5 minutes or so, and the program queries your
routers/hubs/dialin boxes for information and will then graph it in
nicely formatted HTML pages, with GIF's and the like.

Hope this helps you out as much as it helped me explain where are the
unexpected bandwidth surges came from :)
