mrtg will give you an idea of traffic load, if your routers support SNMP.

msproxy is great for standard ports http,ftp,https etc and is easy to
implement to the internet explorer users via a NT/95 policy to point them to
the proxy. We have this setup. transparent authentication means the
usernames are logged
If your firewall supports logging (assuming you have a firewall) then this
can be another method to gather accounting information.
Email gateway logs could be another avenue for you
we use firewall logs in combination with email logs and proxy server logs to
internally bill
we use mimesweeper www.mimesweeper.com <http://www.mimesweeper.com> that is
a competitor to webmarshal. either product is not required for your initial
request as you can use the proxy logs to do data analysis.
It is probably better to give us an idea of your network configuration,
routers, firewall , trusts, num. users etc (perhaps offline rather than to
the list bearing in mind the potentially sensitive nature of the
information) and I could at least give you a broad idea of the things to
look at.

Subject: INTERNET MONITORING
Hi All,
I administer an NT 4 network accross 3 domains (Sydney, Melbourne &
Brisbane) connected through 2 VPN Tunnels.
Our internet bill has recently spiked and I want to know why.
Does anybody know a program I can implement to monitor peoples usage of the
internet, programs accessing and downloading data?
Regards Caine
