I have a router with about 20 peers, most are all on a single port
(local exchange), how is everyone monitoring traffic to individual
peers?

Use something like IPFIX, NetFlow, sFlow and take a look at these two tools:

We perform MAC Based accounting on our IX interface and that allows us to monitor / graph traffic based off MAC address instead of being limited to the aggregate data of a single interface.

Here's the JUNOS way of doing it, I'm sure other vendors have their equivalent.
