there are two ways you can do this:
#1 -  you can look at graphing frames according to the ethertype on the 
wire;  that is (0x800) for IPv4 and (0x8dd) for IPv6, or
#2 -  you can install a netflow/sflow type solution for your network, 
and, from your routers of interest, export netflow/sflow to your 
collector, for analysis.

#2 is likely going to scale a lot better;  particularly, if you are 
looking for network to network traffic.

depending on the resources you have access to, there are some really 
good tools to get this done, that are all free.  elastiflow [1] comes to 
mind;  it’s really powerful, but it does take a bit of work to get 
going, and keep it running.
some time ago, the author posted here about vFLowd [2].  this looks 
really scalable, and probably what you want to look at, if you’re a 
network of significant size.
one of the non-profits IXPs i work with, uses sflowtool [3].  this is 
very lightweight and Just Works.
pmacct [4] is worth mentioning;  it’s truly amazing how quickly paulo 
gets new features added!
and of course, there’s always nfsen/nfdump [5] but i haven’t 
used/set that up in years, so i don’t know the state of the project.

good luck;  let us know what (and how) you end up doing.

ps. i  changed the subject line so it would be clear that you are 
talking about a new topic..
