Does your current DSL/Cable router/modem have web management that might
give you this info?  Some wireless routers will let you flash the firmware
that would include tools like what you're looking for (Tomato firmware,
for example) Otherwise, unless you have a machine that only internet
traffic passes through, or an interface that's used just for internet, it
might not be easy to discern what's local and what's internet traffic.
