Mrtg will use SNMP to monitor throughput on your router interfaces.

ntop is very cool (hi Anthony!) but is targeted at measuring flow
through a point in your network.
That point can of course be an endpoint.
Simon needs to test a network he doesn't own.
Mr David will correct me if I'm wrong, but ntop is like top for your
network. Like NetFlow reporting.
Top doesn't tell you that your memory/cpu/disk is failing.
At this point my analogy breaks. :-)
