Maybe; it depends on how you want to monitor this. If you want to
monitor realtime usage and nothing more, I'd look into polling the
router or switch interface with check_snmp. If you want to trend the
usage as well as warn you when usage is going off the grid, you can
combine it with a third party tool like Munin or Cacti.
