i have tried using a netflow based software , called

Netflow tracker from cronnog softwares.

But they will give u only 24 hours free usage , try it out.

You will have to do some configs on the router:

int serial 0

ip route-cache flow

in global config:

ip flow-export source
ip flow-export version 5
ip flow-export destination x.x.x.x port

try this software it is really nice

thanks

Subject: OT: PC Bandwidth Usage Check

Hi guys

We've a bit of headache. We've got a office LAN in a business centre where
the
Internet access bandwidth is charged per usage. We have slots where e.g. for
up to 4 GB upload/download the cost per month is X amount. If we exceed this
limit then each extra GB etc is charged at a higher penalty rate (more
expensive then the agreed/contracted rate of 4 GB per month at cost of X).

We've modified the contract to have 10GB per month contract at a higher
cost.
We are still getting the access usage of the Internet bandwidth. We want to
see which users are causing this extra Internet traffic. There is no
business
case for downloads/uploads for more than 10 GB per month. So we must trace
the
user(s) and make sure that the stop downloading whatever is casuseing this
extra cost. There are only 6 people in this office. Can anyone recommend any
tools? Prefereablly not too costly (free would be best :D).

Thanks a lot

David
