The first thing that comes to mind is hitting up freshmeat for some network monitoring code... I know there's a crapload somewhere.

the xferred stats variable is probably an unsigned 32bit int. which has a max value of: 4,294,967,296

As for network monitoring...I don't think mrtg requires apache or php. There are webstats for it, but you can probably find a frontend app to read the stats files.
