Measuring bandwidth pre-AWS migration.

Management want to move servers into the cloud. Variable AWS costs seem to be largely about how data moves, so we'd like to know how our existing data moves on different servers/applications.

I (network guy) have been asked to measure data flow for a week on a server. Also break it down into source/destination. I was thinking Wireshark but I don't want to capture all the data. If I just capture the headers does that give me the correct measure of data? I don't know where Wireshark gets its measurement from.

If it was just data in/out it would be easy, but the source/destination requirement requires a tool that understands IP.

Is there a better way to do this ?

Thanks.
