monitor bandwidth on network

Is there a way to monitor bandwidth over the network by ip and/or user name over a local area network through a program which could run on a server?

i know it can be done with a router but i was looking for something a little more... elegant and rich.

im looking for somethings a little different. similar to bandwidth monitor except, i want to be able to, as the systems admin, be able to track which users/ips are using how much bandwidth. essentially, if bandwidth monitor could be installed on a server and let me know that john doe is downloading something at 800 kbs, i would be in heaven. does such a product exist? ive been looking for weeks.
