If it's just reporting you want, Cymphonix makes boxes that do exactly what you're asking for. Can be a transparent bridge or a NAT gateway, has all kinds of fancy reporting, tracking, and filtering capabilities. I've had one for a while I keep meaning to put in place for our offices (our customer network has long since outgrown its capabilities). That, along with similar systems from Allot and Packeteer probably cost more than Ntop, Mikrotik, etc. but they provide tech support etc. that you may not want to have to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
