ntopng has all of that. I'm currently hosting it on my home router.
+1 for this.
You need to see all the data flowing through a sensor to be able to map it, so a router / firewall is often the central point.
I run it as an addon for pfSense and it'll show me all sorts of info.
If you setup the GeoIP you can see which countries your network's connecting too... interesting for torrents...
What are your country hotspots for what kind of content? (e.g. if you primarily aquire movies, shows, anime, linux isos, misc.)
It varies of course, but most of my torrents are movies and linux ISOs (for real)
I seed any Movies I leech at a 2:1 ratio... most are leeched from Europe, but I've had them from Canada, South America, Asia, but weirdly not many from North America.
I like to give back more to the Linux community, so I'm constantly seeding Arch & Mint ISOs (as that's just what I'm using... maybe something Raspberry-ish) - they go everywhere.
I had a weird instance once where the same Chinese IP address was constantly re-downloading the same ISO. Could've been a VPN endpoint, but after I'd shared something like 40:1 there, I started using GeoIP to block it and similar regions I was uncomfortable with... so the world's becoming smaller for me.
I see some US connections on my end but usually the South America, Europe and some lesser known countries around the world (Primarily private trackers with a healthy mix of movies and anime and rarely tv shows).
China comes up often for me.
