Perfect job for this appears to be netflow data - netflow itself holds a lot more information that may not be necessary but it seems to be the best way to pull that information at a quick glance, no?

That is for voice, read it carefully. Yes for voice they want to know
from and to, but for internet, only who has what IP at what time and
their life story including payment history and a total, I guess monthly,
of that users used quota, a one line per month total entry in a DB,
which one assumes is in your billing system already anyway, they
certainly do not want to know how many times you logged onto twitter or
youtube or if you ever visited watchingthegrassgrow.com

To cover a recent discussion, would sFlow be applicable with its sampling rate unless set to N=1?
