Please forgive me for this blatant plug :)
http://sysorb.com will cover this.
It will monitor ethernet interface throughput on Linux. Stats are stored in a
database and you can access the plots via. web interface.
It's a monitoring system that was built to alert administrators of system
problems - but it can be used as a utilization monitor just as well (just don't
configure the alerts). (It will monitor memory usage, load, etc. etc. too)
It's a commercial system, but it comes with a free (as in free beer) license
that allows you to use it on five systems, no strings attached.
And yes, I am affiliated with the company providing this product.
