Sorry for that, I should have explained better. By "user" I mean the
actual user ID on the system, not a host or NIC. The exact details look
like this: I get an email from the IT department that machine X
generated 2TB of outgoing traffic in 1 week. Now I already know how
this traffic was generated; Bit Torrent. But it's a machine with about
150 users, so I'd like a way to find out which user is responsible for
the traffic peak.

I don't think I need traffic shaping or quotas. Just a means to see how
much bandwidth each user consumed so I can simply email them to throttle
their downloads and uploads in the future.

I guess actual per-user traffic shaping would be quite complicated, so
that's why I asked about a tool that can give the info I need.
