Capping my own users.

[Rian]

How can setup a system that would cap users on my shared ADSL network. I would prefer a Linux solution.
Thanks

There's a link I posted in this thread to an addon for Smoothwall called bandview :-

I'm not 100% if it can physically cap the users, but it can track usage by internal IP number - possibly you'll find something similar on the same forum for Smoothwall.

I think I once read ipcop had a mod that would deny data after the cap had been reached

IPCOP does have an IP accounting package for traffic stats...
Not sure if one can do it per IP in subnet, but I am sure one could
work on the scripts...

here is where the downloads are:
package is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipac-ng/

using IPCOP command: /usr/sbin/ipacsum -t "this month" will give a nice breakdown
of each NIC's traffic both ways ;-)
