[pmacct-discussion] Aggregate traffic count with BGP community match

[Andrew Thrift]

Hello,

I have a requirement to count clients traffic passing through our border 
router by classes, e.g. local (iBGP), national (BGP marked with specific 
community) and international (anything not covered by local/national), 
after a bit of research I found pmacct/nfacct and from what I can tell 
it looks like it can do what I want.

Before I commit the time to learning nfacct in detail, can an expert 
please confirm for me that nfacct can:

Have aggregation periods per client IP of  1 Hour, 1 Day and 1 Month 
(1st day to last day)

Use match filters similar to:

   Loc_Up        Matched by DST IP is within a specific BGP community
   Loc_Down    Matched by SRC IP is within a specific BGP community

   Nat_Up        Matched by DST IP is within a specific BGP community
   Nat_Down    Matched by SRC IP is within a specific BGP community

   Int_Up        Matched by DST IP is NOT caught by the above matchers 
e.g. remainder
   Int_Down    Matched by SRC IP is NOT caught by the above matchers 
e.g. remainder


Also, are there any consultants on using nfacct for ISP billing systems ?


Thank you,




Andrew Thrift
