Hello, We're several people sharing the same DSL link. Currently, there are no volume limitations (so noone ever bothered) but this is going to change three months from now. Until then, I'd like to know how much traffic we generate so that we may choose pick the right offer. Furthermore, it might become important to keep track on how much traffic every person in the house generates, so that it may be billed correctly in case we exceed the free volume. So yes, this actually is an accounting problem.
Now, I don't need help in IP accounting as such. Setting accounting rules with iptables isn't too difficult. However, I'm looking for an application that will gather the data, sum it up nicely and just keeps track, even if the counters should be involuntarily reset (like if the system crashes). After an exhausting search, the only thing I found so far is ipac-ng. Although it seems to be quite powerful, the documentation leaves much to be desired. It is now set up and works -- though not as I'd like it. For today, I give up trying. But perhaps someone can tell me about another app that might suit my needs? cu, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
