there are many freewares that measure links utilization using

SNMP.

for example:

http://www.paessler.com/

Download PRTG. Freeware for 3 sensors. Monitor the bandwidth of your links. You must configure SNMP in the device.

if you want more: know what kind of traffic is using your links (http, ftp, top ip source, destination...)

you can configure netflow feature in your router.

then you will need to use another freeare that can read netflow traffic. for example:

netflow analyzer from http://www.manageengine.com/
