I don't know of any way to get network information from a syslog file?
I've used ntop in the past, I believe it had the information you are
looking for but required binding to the network interface and running in
promiscuous mode.  If you're looking to monitor network information on a
number of machines on your network that you control I'd suggest cacti
and SNMP.
