We use Ipacco http://ipacco.sourceforge.net/ This collects the IP accounting data from our border cisco router(s) and puts it into a central MySQL database. But it makes a HUGE database with lots more data than we need that is really slow to query. So we wrote a PHP script that runs every few

Bandwidth or bits? Actually ip track kind of does both. Each customer can see the speeds that their system was averaging. We never use it because we worry about peak speeds, but the data is there. All data is sent by the main routers. marlon - Original Message - From: Matt Larsen -

We use mrtg/rrd to collect data transfer values from cpe. Then we use mrtg totalizer to produce graphs that have daily and month totals. We also have a modified totalizer script that checks to see if that are any bandwidth abusers because they have used more than x in the last 30 days and y in

StarOS is NATting at each backbone location - that is why I wanted to put this collection in place between the core router and the NAT router so it can see the customer data in its native (pre-NATted) state. Matt Larsen vistabeam.com On 3/30/2010 1:34 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: Scott, 4)

Actually, I could potentially do it from the Mikrotik router at the core, behind the StarOS NAT server. Only problem is that the NetFlow collector on Mikrotik is broken. That is why we are leaning toward something between the core and NAT servers to collect the data. Queues will not work,
