Network Traffic Monitor

I'm curious if anyone knows of any software Windows or Linux that can
monitor all traffic going out of the network, particularly any unusual
traffic. I had a computer infected with a mass mailing program that sent out
enough traffic to lock up my firewall the other day, which is also the
firewall for all our web/mail/app servers. Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
