is there a way or an app for linux that can provide report on where bandwidth is going?
i want to be able to see which ports or services are eating up my bandwidth.

i have a dns, web, mail, ftp and ssh server running.

is this even possible to do? if so how?
thanks in advance.

ipfw has bandwidth limiting 'pipes' which you may be what you're looking for.
