The only thing that comes to mind (and is quite insane) is to give each user
a different ip for their gateway. Then get snmp+mrtg to monitor each ip
address and graph, monitor bandwidth.

ie:

freebsd box has three ips, 192.168.0.10 ,192.168.0.12 ,192.168.0.13

client 1 uses 192.168.0.10
client 2 uses 192.168.0.12
client 3 uses 192.168.0.13

yes, insane with 2k-3k clients.

you can also take a look at trafd, and get it to dump statistics every 5 min
or so, then parse the data to see how much bandwidth they are using (5 min
average).

  I am wondering if FreeBSD has any mods or anything like that, that would
allow me to monitor per client bandwidth utilization. This would monitor
between two and three-thousand clients. Any input on this or other ways to
accomplish this would be helpful.
