I would recommend using TCPView which is part of the sysinternals suite. TCPView will show you all of the connections being opened by the TCP/IP stack and it will also show you the remote address of the system it is talking to across the net.

Wireshark

The added advantage is that it is cross platform. Linux, Windows and Mac.

If you're looking at a router, try to find SNMP data for it, then you can graph it with munin, mrtg, or a whole bunch of other SNMP handling devices.

If you're looking at a linux box, install something like iptraf (command line, ncurses traffic monitor), or munin (graphing util).

If you're looking at a windows box, perhaps use the Performance console in Administrative Tools.

If you had a cisco router capable of supporting NetFlow data, you could use this and a NetFlow listener to look at the traffic data.
