Usage can be different than Bandwidth.
Usage: What locations did system(A) visit and what was downloaded?
vs
Bandwidth: How much of my network was or is being consumed by each system
on may LAN?

Could use "Show Traffic" monitors network traffic on the chosen network interface and displays it continuously. It could be used for locating suspicious network traffic or to evaluate current utilization of the network interface.

Run on individual PCs in your home network and you could do this remotely. So you're in your home office or den and then you want to see what's going on other systems..

Bandwidth Monitor NG is a small and console-based live network and disk-io bandwidth monitor for Linux, BSD, Solaris, Mac OS X and others. features: output of KB/s, Kb/s, packets, errors, average, max and total sum; in curses, plain console, CSV or HTML

Lots of freeware or opensource programs out there for you to choose from..

CAUTION: using routers with SNMP support

If you have a router with this feature, NEVER allow WAN side access to SNMP.

Also, at least change the Community String, which acts as a password.
(see the link)

Allowing access to SNMP from the Internet is to allow your router to be taken
over (ie controlled) by someone else!

SNMP is a whole discipline unto itself, which makes for an interesting read
