Script for bandwidth monitoring

I have a problem, which (I hope) can be solved by scripting:

I have a client complaining about the speed of his connection Everytime I test it, the advertised speed shows up.

I want to monitor his activities online and collect data on visited IP no;s, ports and tx/rx rate. Well something like Torch, but then adding the output to a statistics file?

Is this possible? Pls. help, I can handle MT, but scripting in not my thing.

2.9? have you tried graphing feature?

Does this mean that I can get graphics output in 2.9 for a simple queue? I have seen that feature yet in the demo - or do you mean something else.

Graphing your links and customers will only bring good things.
It’s possibly one of the single most rewarding thing one can do when running a network. Oh that and gathering logs and monitoring them in real time. They are both gold mines.

The graphing i think he was referring to is the built-in one in v2.9. A neat feature!
You could run similar graphs on a server, i hear some use cacti (http://www.cacti.net) but there are many many solutions to this.
Google snmp and graphs.
