Hm.  Perhaps I should have been more specific:
It's the LED specifically for the connection from *my* PC to the router
that's flickering... not the one for traffic to the cable-modem.
Also, I've been connected with the same setup for six months, and this
behaviour is new in the last couple of days.

Now, as it happens I think I've isolated it to a poorly-configured
dhclient...  But I'm glad to know about iptraf and ntop, I'll take a look
at them.

        Thanks everyone for your input.
