I've been trying ntop, but it doesn't

tedious to set up 65,535x2 rules for all TCP/UDP ports.  Could someone
recommend something else?

There's an ancient tool called nnstat that does what you're
looking for; I don't know if it runs on newer UNIXes - it's
kind of crufty but it's real good for producing network
statistics based on packet level stuff.  A lot of the concepts
of the first version Network Flight Recorder were extensions
and improvements on the ideas in nnstat.
