Hi, I've been asked something I couldn't really give an answer to out of the box. Someone I know wants to do fair bandwidth sharing over long periods. The period would be related to the provider's capping period ;) So, for example, if five people share one connection, and the ISP allows 10 GB per month of traffic, each person could only use 2 GB per month, and be effectively turned off when passing that limit. Now, my question is - has anyone done anything similar ? I'd think that this application would lean more to an approach that just does accounting by the hour,, for example, and turn off net access through firewall rules based on those values. Also, it would probably have to store intermediate accounting values to disk instead of keep everything in memory. What do you guys think ?
