I don't think IPFW or IPFilter can. I have no idea about its reporting capabilities (nor those of IOS actually, since I've never used IOS 11.2 for production) > Maybe mrtg can be twisted into doing some or all of this via snmp all based > on stats output by IPFW/IPFilter??? To the best of my knowledge neither IPFW or IPFilter will output via SNMP. You may be able to brute force it into mrtg somehow.
