the tools to figure it out on my own).

What I'd like is a tool running on FreeBSD that will sort IP traffic
coming across my Internet interface by:
SRC IP, PROTOCOL and PORT
DEST IP, PROTOCOL and PORT
then give me total KBs passed in that interval.

I was recently in a similar situation and went looking for a similar tool, and came across "darkstat" in the ports collection:

http://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/darkstat

While I did find it a bit rough around the edges in terms of some of its data display, it gave me a way to monitor and visualise my traffic flows and identify the large offenders...

In my case it turned out an OS X machine was set to automatically download system updates, but because no one had applied them yet, it was re-downloading them every day... :-)

Hope it helps!
