To view bandwidth usage you can use ntop

I'm moving my colocated Debian server to a place with
high overage charges. My network link will carry
about 200x my bandwidth allocation for the month.
The new bandwidth allocation is about 8x what I've been using.
But if I get slashdotted and have a 10x month, it will
cost too much.
What's the Debian way to monitor total network traffic
and throttle down if I get too near the monthly limit?
Thanks

This doesn't give the answer you were looking, but I am using
wondershaper on my home router (old machine running Debian Testing) to
do bandwidth shaping (no limiting, however). The wondershaper script may
get you started.
