I have a really simple program that I wrote that logs traffic (in and out) to a MySQL database and then a web application that allows the generation of reports and graphs. Its how we bill our heavy usage hosting customers. The program uses bpf and is accurate to within one minute of bandwidth traffic. The system also does "rates", but we bill on the per gigabyte of traffic, so... bpf is simple to use - as is MySQL and php - the whole thing sits on a i386 server that cost around $800 bucks in a 2U space. The PacketShaper and other similar solutions are fairly expensive, so if you're a do-it-yourself type, consider using these tools. Would probably take a week or two to build, maybe less... Just my two cents...
