Measuring Network Traffic

Feel free to chastise me properly if this is on some FAQ...but I've
checked!

We need to measure our network traffic through our Livingston routers.
Something like SNMP sampling -- with some computation -- or RMON. Some
questions:

(1) Does Livingston equipment implement RMON? I can get to the SNMP
stuff...but RMON is designed for this.

(2) Does software exist to do this? I'm thinking of something to dump
stats to a file on a periodic basis.

Any clues on these questions? Many thanks for what I can get.
