Depending what your looking for a search at freshmeat.net for
"Network Monitoring" will give you several to pick from.

"ntop" is one of the more popular ones but it depends on what you
want.

Depends what sort of monitoring you want to do...

Ethereal/tcpdump do packet inspection and breakdown
iptraf is good for a snapshot of traffic volumes
ipband is good to alert you if your volume exceeds set values
