Hello

There are various router monitoring tools in linux

the best one I have found is wireshark

to install wireshark you need to have the universe repos enabled

Refer:

http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources

and type:

sudo apt-get install wireshark

sudo apt-get install wireshark-common

More on wireshark here:
