Per-IP Bandwidth Monitoring

if you only care about IPv4, I've used bandwidthd[1] to great effect; 
it's trivial to setup and easy to use.

But, I need IPv6 support, so this won't work for me anymore.

I've been talking about trying to do something with pmacct[2] but never 
quite got it working properly.

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to monitor the bandwidth usage of each of them individually. Upon googling, I ran into a lot of suggestions like bandwidthd. I gave it a try and it seemed very broken and basically didn't work at all. I'm basically looking for a "vnstat that works per IP instead of per interface" kind of thing. jnettop wasn't what I was looking for. It doesn't have to make pretty graphs(but that's nice too), just human-readable text is fine. Anyone have a recommendation?
