Subject: [LARTC] question re: longer-period fair sharing

Hi,
I've been asked something I couldn't really give an answer to out of the
box. Someone I know wants to do fair bandwidth sharing over long periods.
The period would be related to the provider's capping period ;)
So, for example, if five people share one connection, and the ISP allows
10 GB per month of traffic, each person could only use 2 GB per month, and
be effectively turned off when passing that limit.
Now, my question is - has anyone done anything similar ? I'd think that
this application would lean more to an approach that just does accounting
by the hour,, for example, and turn off net access through firewall rules
based on those values. Also, it would probably have to store intermediate
accounting values to disk instead of keep everything in memory.
What do you guys think ?
Thomas
