Hello,

I am currently using ipfm (IP FLow Meter) as a way of measuring bandwidth
per IP. I am not too happy with it as it has some major limitations.

Is there a way to configure IPFW in FreeBSD so that all it does is monitor
bandwidth per IP and writes simple stats to seperate files?

I am interested to hear other solutions (short of buying a router!).

TIA,

-Grant
