Monitor traffic through router? Usual Suspect 10-13-2007

Is it possible to monitor traffic through the local router on a 10/100
ethernet network? For example, the Netgear wrt614v5 doing service between my
home's LAN and the DSL modem; is there a way to monitor what amount of
throughput is going on at each LAN port? No fine detail, just quantity of
bits/s, for example.

on a V6 box, router status page, then show statistics.

On this v5 unit there is such a page. But I'm not sure what the stats mean...

"WAN" row has columns titled "Tx B/s" and "Rx B/s"
"LAN" row has same columns.

These statistics are Rx and Tx with respect to the box? ie, WAN Tx means
bytes transmitted to remote server(s), and LAN Tx means bytes transmitted to
the LAN?

Thanks,

you could always download the manual..

Rx is recieve - ie inbound traffic into the box.
B/s seems to be bits / sec

LAN means from the integrated LAN switch (ie doenst include "stuff" between
a couple of local PCs if you have more than 1)
WAN means the WAN Ethernet port.
