[-- Attachment #1 --] The only thing that comes to mind (and is quite insane) is to give each user a different ip for their gateway. Then get snmp+mrtg to monitor each ip address and graph, monitor bandwidth. ie: freebsd box has three ips, 192.168.0.10 ,192.168.0.12 ,192.168.0.13 client 1 uses 192.168.0.10 client 2 uses 192.168.0.12 client 3 uses 192.168.0.13 yes, insane with 2k-3k clients. you can also take a look at trafd, and get it to dump statistics every 5 min or so, then parse the data to see how much bandwidth they are using (5 min average).

This would monitor between two and three-thousand clients. Any input on this or other ways to accomplish this would be helpful.
