If you want an per ip monitoring (or even port), then ntop is your tool.
In addition you ca use RRD to provide an monitoring history. I use it
for quite some time now and it never failed me.

Cacti is also pretty neat, but only if you have an SNMP enabled host, to
capture infos from.

So my opinion: stick with ntop.
