Hi all,
Does anyone know of a low-cost solution for monitoring bandwidth by IP? My
original thought was 1 switch port = 1 IP, but in the case of virtual IP's
on a single port, that just wouldn't work. I'm seeing more and more of a
demand for a basic BW report by IP, so our customers can bill their customer
accordingly.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
it depend...
if you turned off snmp on host, then you should be able to monitor not
neceessary control.. for unix box, I am sure there is way to control as
well.
if you are using cisco, then there is a command called traffic-shape will
allow to restrict outbound traffic to the host ..

See if something like:
could do what you need. It's just running off netflow data, as someone else suggested, but it's a nice frontend for it.
interface (gig|fast)ethernet1/0

If you're running *BSD, install a packet filter that counts octets - one
filter rule per IP address. Then sample every 5 minutes.
