    Was wondering if anyone here could recommend a Traffic ananlizer,
one that can show us where our traffic is destined for and how much that,
peer, or site is getting?

NetFlow and related tools.  Cisco's own NetFlow and CAIDA's cflowd tools are
the two I'm familiar with.

  <URL:http://www.caida.org/tools/>

What kind of additional load (CPU, RAM) does NetFlow put on a router
(say a 7505 or 7513)?  How does it work with CEF (along side it or in
place of it)?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
