Your router should be able to do cef accounting or possibly netflow accounting. Look on the Cisco site to see if it feeds your need.
A good alternative would be a sniffing host with ntop or netramet installed. The last one may be somewhat harder to configure, but it's blazing fast and agile. For representation you could use ntop. It can sniff, or read input from tcpdump, netramet and netflow. Serge. -----Original Message----- From: Paul C.

While this didn't seem like a big deal it has turned into one. Does anyone currently monitoring the following, where the originator is within your network: Bandwidth per user? Bandwidth per ip? Bandwidth per protocol? I realize the third objective can be achieved with flowscan, but I can't find anything for the first or second. Basically, we have 4 proposals on the table for providing this service, and I want to do it with mrtg/rrdtool, but I'm not sure where to start. Right now, we've got Cisco 2600 series routers providing our connection to the internet. We are considering an upgrade, but I want to make sure we get the right gear if possible. We're leaning towards 7200 series Cisco routers. All the other proposals require adding hardware in between our internet routers and our ISP. The price for these proposals range from $100/month to $500/month.
