I always though that proper monitoring of TCP/IP traffic required a 
device driver, but BMExtreme seems to manage it through the standard 
winsock API:

It's able to list IP addresses visited, and distinguish internal and 
external traffic on a adaptor, on most OSs (I'm using XP SP2).  A quick 
look at it's dependencies suggests only WSAIotl is used, plus open 
socket, etc.  

So is there a way to monitor traffic on an adaptor using winsock?  It 
would make a very useful ICS component, allowing bandwidth monitoring 
in particular which is important to many with capped ADSL connections.  
I currently use IP Helper, but this only sees total traffic through an 
adaptor, and I need to exclude local stuff.
