I know iptraf does this... but I don't think it offers much in the way of
logging.

ntop does produce many graphs and stuff, but I can see what he is looking
for.

>From reading his post, I think he is hoping to have a list of IPs. Then he
can click on an IP, and it breaks down the bandwidth usage (maybe over
hour, day, week, etc. like MRTG does), and he can see maybe totals by
protocol (eg. 85% http, 10% smtp). ntop offers are more general picture I
think, but I could be wrong!
