Haha life is a trade off between want you actually want and what you actually get. I like the java approach too but it will take me donky years to complete the same functionalities, and you might say it is due to my incompetencies. LOL There are other considerations which I have consider too. Small footprint is a No 1 item here. The floppy-based firewall/nat router can't house a http server anyway, so a small footprint daemon is needed. Eventually you are talking about something like a MRTG approach where the daemon collecs raw data and handle over to MRTG on another computer for html data processing/presentation. If anyone like this approach, he could enhance the fwstat.pl (based aleady in the package )to provide qdisc/class traffic to MRTG. Feel free and do it !
