        Hello.  Have you looked at:
http://cricket.sourceforge.net/
        We use this to monitor traffic on a variety of network devices.  I
also wrote some simple perl scripts to allow us to monitor such data on
NetBSD and FreeBSD machines.  Traffic is monitored at an interface level,
including vlan interfaces. Our primary monitoring machine runs NetBSD.
