Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask for your suggestions about accounting for bandwidth usage of
an organisation internet connection.

It would be nice to get RMON like statistics top-N, hosts etc eg

top-protocols
top-n-senders (bytes)
top-n-recievers (")

My employer uses a combination of Apache, Squid and TIS proxies to access the
internet.

We restrict Web useage to those able to supply a userid and password to Apache
1.2.x. (1.3.x doesn't offer proxy access control. Apache logs the userid of
authorised proxy users). Apache then asks the Squid Cache for the page.

The approaches that come to mind are

Apache::Traffic          Does'nt record Proxy use
               Seems unstable
Log File analysis   Analog seems to report on users
Squid agent/SNMP    ?

Your suggestions will br received warmly,

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.
