"traffic control" sensibly without too much detailed configuration -

I always assumed CISCO (hardware) routers et al. had traffic monitors
inbuilt into them one could query. Is that not so?

I guess you could roll your own:

Description: Multi Router Traffic Grapher
The Multi Router Traffic Grapher is a tool primarily used to monitor the
traffic load on network links (typically by using SNMP). MRTG generates HTML
pages containing PNG images which provide a LIVE visual representation of this
traffic. MRTG typically produces daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly graphs.
.
In addition to monitoring via SNMP, MRTG can also generate graphs based on
the output of any application, allowing one to generate graphs of anything
that needs monitoring (for example, CPU and memory usage, email volumes, web
hits, etc). For faster data collection, MRTG can also interface to RRDtool.
For more information, see http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/.
.
The mrtg-contrib package contains the contributed scripts and configuration
files that used to form part of the mrtg package.
