Question how to watch the network traffic ?

Hy!

I would like to watch what pc`s are talking to each other and who is making the most traffic.
I tried the "tcpdump -i eth0" that was very interessting ;-) !
The second thing i tried was to install a toll called traffic-controll, but I can not make it start.
Does anybody know a toll GUI or not with which I can controll the traffic in the LAN ?
