There are some free ones, but if you are looking for features and slick setup, interfaces, charts, etc. you can go cheap with SolarWinds. We use it and it works great. A standalone license to monitor unlimited devices is about $995. However, it doesn't report traffic type that I am aware of. www.solarwinds.net Check out the Engineer's edition toolset. -Tim
