Depending what your requirements are, I would suggest you look into RRDtool. You still need to get the byte counts out - but RRDtool will take care of the logging and conversion to traffic rates, as well as drawing pretty graphs. Cacti is whole new level up again, but manages many aspects of collecting and displaying information.
