It may not be the best solution, but I've been running nnstat with a simple config that sums up the bytes to/from the given IP address into each customers "bucket". A perl script gathers the info from it's log. It's been running unmodified without problems for 2 years now. nnstat makes use of the fact that ethernet is broadcast (it's pretty much a sniffer) so the machine must be located where all the traffic will pass. --- Ron
