As I read your note I thought of Arbor Peakflow - which we use where I work. 
However it is not free.  Their website and product description do provide 
fodder for Googling.

A potential open source package that might meet your needs is flowscan:

Poking around there I see a tool more oriented with reporting on overall 
traffic profiles - while you are interested in traffic exceptions.

Something from this Google (linux netflow) may fit your needs:
