As some of you may be aware, Comcast / Xfinity are starting to impose
monthly data caps on internet usage.  Where I live it is 1.2TB a
month.  So I just received the dreaded "You have used 75% of your
allowance" email.  Fortunately only 5 days from the end of the month,
but looking back there are months that I have exceeded the cap.

Can I do anything in Astlinux to meter usage myself?  I would want to
monitor raw traffic in and out on eth0, the totals would need to
survive reboot, I would want to reset on the first of each month and
maintain a history.  For extra credit... be able to identify high
users on my internal network(s).

Any ideas?  Have any other gateways (like OpenWRT) tackled this?

Thanks
David
