For monitoring bandwidth usage by IP address check out PRTG. You'll need a
managed switch capable configuring a mirror (or span in Cisco speak) port
or all you'll see is broadcasts.

Put me down as a PRTG fan (have been a happy customer for ~3-4 years). Great
software at a reasonable price and under continual development (minor
bugfixes and improvements). You only need to have a switch with a mirrored
port if you want to do sniffing for a top talkers list. If you only want to
do bandwidth usage and uptime monitoring you can only require SNMP capable
devices (any enterprise class network gear). Check it out here:
