With most consumer grade routers...no. Some managed switches allow it. There were a few monitoring programs written for a few of the older Linksys switches 'n stuff, like LinkLogger.

With many of the *nix distros there are great tools for this...I'm currently playing with Astaro at home...freaking awesome dashboard on it with tons of relevant info like this.
