Many moons ago there was a product called "Network Flight Recorder" aka NFR

But is has devolved.

Why not run "ntop"  ala ntop.org on a machine with the ethernet card set 
to promiscuous plugged into a hub on the wire.

It's one of the reasons I like pfSense for a firewall.. ntop is a click 
away and it's on the firewall (along with snort and other goodies)
