Bandwidth per port & IP?

Hi all,

Is there anyway that you can monitor bandwidth per port and per IP for a weekly basis?

e.g. Last week on ServerA the amount of bandwith used for FTP (port 21)is x amount, the amount of bandwith for HTTP requests (port 80) is y amount, the amount of bandwidth for remote connections (port 3389) is z amount, etc?

Thanks in advance.

FTP, HTTP servers may provide such statistics, it depends on what exactly FTP server do you use. AFAIK Appache provides such counters by SNMP protocol. IIS provides SNMP counters as well plus Performance Counters.
But you cannot get such information for any TCP port/service unless you install some software that will intercept all TCP traffic and count statistics - some sort of sniffer
