Historically I use iptables and MRTG to do this.  For iptables...

LOCALIPS=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | cut -f 2 -d":" | cut -f 1 
-d" "`
for IP in $LOCALIPS; do
     /sbin/iptables -A acctin -d $IP
     /sbin/iptables -A acctout -s $IP
done

... and MRTG...

INDATA=`/sbin/iptables -xvn -L acctin | grep " $IP" | head -1 | awk 
'{print $2}'`
OUTDATA=`/sbin/iptables -xvn -L acctout | grep " $IP" | head -1 | awk 
'{print $2}'`

... although, as Chris says, any enterprise switch or ISP should be able 
to give you this data nowadays.
