Hobbit client -> Hobbit server: It sends the ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg*.txt
file once every 5 minutes. Typically this is something like 50 kB which 
amounts to 50*1024*8 / 300 = 1.4 kbit/sec

For the proxy, look at the "bbproxy" status column. It has counts for
the number of messages in and out; it doesn't provide byte counts, but
normal status messages are usually a few kB each. If it's a dedicated
server that handles the proxying, you can just look at the network
utilisation graph.
