[AusNOG] Network analyser

[Philip Loenneker]

Pmacct looks very interesting. I’ll file that away for future investigation ☺

Jason, what is the customer connection method? If you can utilise RADIUS to authenticate them (PPPoE or IPoE/DHCP), then you could potentially expand that to accounting as well. That also gives the potential to utilise COA to apply on-demand traffic shaping based on usage or time or whatever, which may be useful for customers that don’t want excess usage charges.

We utilize pmacct + custom whmcs module for billing. It is still in testing phases however it is working really well to date.

Hello,

Basically I need to start billing traffic to a couple of customers based on
IP address and I want something reliable. Also something cheap or free
would be sweet :D

Depending on how much traffic, how many customers, resources, etc... ipfw with "COUNT" rules might meet your "cheap or free" desire without sacrificing too much performance?

Simple cron job to collect (and optionally reset) the counters periodically and inject into your billing system?
