I am offering an internet access for a few people. To keep the network
running (slow provider bandwidth i.e. 6 MBit) every client has to follow
some rules. But to locate power users I want to know the used bandwidth
over the time. So I can react on their behavior. I.e. they should not
start big downloads in the rush hour.

But I think I found a very powerful tool which could fit my needs. It's
ntop, I'm actually trying this.
