Open Source Port Tracking

Right now on my network, everything goes in and out through my IPFilter
firewall running on FreeBSD.  I would like to implement a good Open Source
package that keeps track of the total amount of packets and bytes including
on a per port basis.

So a report might be something (text or gui) like this:
12,048,219 packets for a total of 5975916624 bytes
Port    Packets Bytes
9       12              2496
20      800190  ...
21      129900  ...
22      (etc...)

The idea being, I would like to see which ports are being used and how much
traffic is going over/through them.  I've been trying ntop, but it doesn't
track all ports.  I know IPFilter has a count option, but it would be
tedious to set up 65,535x2 rules for all TCP/UDP ports.  Could someone
recommend something else?

Thanks,
   <> Jim
