well I want to shape traffic and offer QoS for citrix clients. (printer traffic may burst to a certain limit if bandwith is available)
It is quite simpel at the beginning but it can become more complex in future..
It should also create atomated reports

Great.. a little bit more programming and maybe for example mrtg could be used..
