I use the IP accounting feature of ipfwadm under Linux, then graph it
using MRTG. It is satisfactory. My luck is that my portslave (which
handles the clients conenctions) runs on the Linux Box. May be possible to
do the stuff using Cisco, but I do not know how. Alternatively, you can
get a bandwidth manager (ET/BWMGR), which can graph based on IP addresses,
IP blocks, MAC addresses, Service ports etc. Seems they copied MRTG ;-)
