[AusNOG] Network analyser

[Jason Firmino]

Basically I need to bill my clients for upstream and downstream traffic and
I just want more granular data than what zabbix/nagios gives me.

I also need the history, for finance audit purposes.

I had a glimpse at pmacct and it looks very slick.

Let's continue the search :D

Cheers,
Jason Firmino
