Hi

Can anybody provide me a pointer to some scripts for the purposes of 
measuring and billing bandwidth use on a server using ipfw? I've heard 
it suggested several times as an easy way to measure/bill traffic but 
I've yet to encounter any examples on the web of how to do it.

I have started to put together some code to do it, but before I go any 
further I thought I'd ask for pointers. No point in reinventing the 
wheel...

So far though, all my google searches for "bandwidth measurement billing 
scripts ipfw" have just ended up yielding a bunch of pages where people 
say, "yeah you should use ipfw for bandwidth measurement and billing! 
It's heaps easy and very effective!".

If it turns out that there are no actual examples on the web I guess 
I'll just have to plough on with the coding and then perhaps publish my 
scripts myself!

Cheers :-)
Wincent
