You can do that and More. There are some software out there that will allow you to acomplish this. One of then is MTRG free. Requires some programing but it is not pain. this will only allow to check the Utilization of the bandwith on the port or Ip.
Also you can try Concord made Concord Comunication. this one will give more than just the port utilization.
You can also try Packetter this is a traffic shaper, and it will allow you to manage the bandwith usage.

Hopes it helps

The Cisco 2610 supports three types of Quality of Service (QOS) management but to the best of my knowledge, none of them directly support managing traffic to a particular destination IP.

The first type, Weighted Fair Queuing, just allocates equalbandwidth to each concurrent conversation. So if you had one http session and one ftp session, each one would get half the bandwidth.

The second type, Priority Queuing, can prioritize traffic based on the type, the port number, the interface on which it arrives, or the packet size. It may be possible to combine this with an access list to control traffic to a particular IP address but I don't have any personal experience doing it that way. You could probably also do something by routing all traffic for that IP through a particular interface and then controlling the bandwidth allowed to that interface. Priority queuing uses kind of a round-robin approach, based on the priority lists that you create.

The third type, Custom Queuing,creates a couple of virtual pipes of fixed bandwidth and routes each type of traffic through it but it also does not directly support separating out the traffic by destination IP.

So there might be a way to do it using Priority queuing. Alternately, if all the traffic going to that IP is of one type (http, ftp, etc.), then you could use any one of the three methods.
