Thanks Mike, yes I have considered netflow, it's just finding a reasonable reporting tool that's a reasonable price too.
I have considered the approach you suggest, in fact I did that for a client many years ago and it was pretty good actually, but I have been struggling to think of how I could work out top talkers and things like that. I thought I could put together address lists for such things and use various timeouts on the addresses to give me different timeframes, but then I would need to use some scripts or API to gather that info and work with it, so to do the basics would be pretty straightforward, but to get everything I need would be a bit messy in the end.
Regards Paul

Hi Paul,
Have you considered traffic flow? (aka netflow)
Alternatively, you can configure routerOS graphing of simple queues so
Yes, that's what I was referring to below, but the graphing is only one part really.

Cheers,.. that
queue target address can be viewed from that named source IP - then you can use packet marking to make a different queue for different destination ports, dscp etc
Cheers, Mike.

Hi all,
Happy New Year BTW !
I am looking to put together a solution which we can provide as a diagnosis service for our customers to help them analyse what is happening on their Internet connection. There are a number of products which can give you information on such things like PfSense, Untangle, BandwidthD etc, but basically I am after something that can report things to the customer, or us actually so that we can then put together a report and recommendations.
The sort of things we want to report on are: - Top talkers - Bandwidth used - Application usage
We are not interested in tracking end user usage or anything, it's more just so that the customer knows what their Internet is getting used for and how much.
I would really love to put this into a Mikrotik Routerboard but can't see how it's possible. I know we will need some type of proxy running like Squid or something, but it's the information gathering and reporting that are important.
At this point my best solution seems to be a NUC running windows with Untangle on it and a mAP-2nD or something to redirect the traffic transparently to the NUC Proxy.
Has anybody done a project like this before or does anybody have any better suggestions than what I am thinking of at the moment ?
