[ale] Bandwidth utilization

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Christopher Fowler)]

I want to calculate total bandwidth utilization across my home network.
Is ntop the right tool for me?  The only problem I see is where to place
the box running ntop.  At home I have cheap 100mb switches so I can't
configure a port on any switch to grab all the packets.  I need to place
ntop at a location where it will see everything.
