If you >want more detailed statistics (e.g. bytes for ftp, bytes for telnet, >etc) you'll need an IPFW/IPFilter based solution, I there any document (beside manpages) that would detail this process? I've found some for Linux but want to give FreeBSD a go. (Besides just *playing* with it.) Also, I just read that IOS 11.2 does bandwidth shaping (or limiting.) Can IPFW/IPFilter do that? Like Joe gets 64k max, Sally gets 128k, etc. Can this be variable based on time of day? Can these tools output html so customers/users can see 1. How much of their b/width they're using and 2. What sort of traffic (based on percentage/totals etc.) is flowing? Maybe mrtg can be twisted into doing some or all of this via snmp all based on stats output by IPFW/IPFilter??? Any help/hints greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jason Ingham
