If you are concerned with web or ftp traffic, you will find these are 
logged already, and there are many tools for making nice "reports" of 
these logfiles.

If you want to see absolutely all traffic, then consider the tcpdump 
tool.  It will show you every packet... which gets to be overwhelming 
for most of us.  You can combine tcpdump on the netwinder, record this 
to a file for a while, then transfer that file to a PC and use ethereal 
to analyse the traffic log file.

Traffic shaping is a bit difficult on the (old) software on 
Officeserver, which is probably running a 2.2 linux kernel.  Again, if 
you only care about HTTP or ftp, these can be limited (throttled) fairly 
easily... but if you want to control all packets its more difficult.
