Ntop is really nice for information summarized various ways.  In a
2-nic k12ltsp setup it should be able to see all of the normal
traffic and identify the real machines.  If you have some other topology
it is harder: you have to have a managed switch where you can configure
one port to monitor all the traffic on all the others and you may have
to deal with traffic being NATted into different addresses.
