Network Bandwidth Utilization

I need to understand the basics of how to measure the Bandwidth Utilization of
the WHOLE network (Ethernet and FDDI).

I have a copy of mrtg, but this shows only the incoming and outcoming packets
through that machine only , not the whole network performance.
The network bandwidth is 100 Megabit/second, measured in bit/sec, but the
netstat or collect tool show only the packets. So how many bytes in a packet ?
How to convert to bit/sec ?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
