If you run the snmp agent in asterisk, you can query this stuff with  
the netsnmp
tools (snmpget). To get the specific traffic, you would need a switch/ 
host or router
that supported RMON.  It wouldn't be trivial, (and I wouldn't do it in  
C) but all
the data is (theoretically) available from one SNMP agent or another.
