  • cadvisor

    Analyzes resource usage and performance characteristics of running containers.

    That said, cadvisor should work great. You'd want to have prometheus scrape those metrics. In particular you'd probably be interested in container_network_receive_bytes_total and container_network_transmit_bytes_total.
