Access logs for WISP client

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

We are running quite a large WISP which is based mostly on MikroTik equipment.

In South Africa, bandwith is very limited and therefore quite expensive as well. Now what happens is, if a large business has an installation from us, and someone on the network uses a large amount of bandwidth, they obviously get charged quite a lot. Now…

I would like to know if there is any solution that I could implement for a client that would give them details of who is the culprit that used all the bandwidth. Most of these busineses are meduim sized and dont really have the budget for extra equipment (i.e a linux box running squid). Is it possible to use the MikroTik implementation of a proxy and log it somehow that would give enough detail as to who is responsible for the bill?

Thanks in advance!!!

You may look at the traffic-flow, probably it will be good enough for you,

Web-proxy provides you with information about visited web-pages, there is no information about used traffic on each page.

Squid actually does tell you how much traffic is used whan installed on a Linux box. We have a current implementation with MySAR log parser and I am able to see who used what.

But THANKS. I implemeted it now and works.

Brilliant.
