I’m looking for a solution that allows me to monitor and control network traffic.
What I want is:
- Hot spot style user accounts that are easy to generate by non-IT personal.
- Data logging. All data must by logged including urls, which users visited those urls, traffic types (http, app market, streaming video etc).
- Data usage control. It must be possible to set a data limit for users.
- QoS. Preferably dynamic based on network usage.
It can either be an existing solution or something developed “in house”. I am no programmer or network expert the do-it-ourselves option might be best as it will allow us to tailor it to our needs.
I have been looking into some options that could be used as a base to build on. Squid seems to do most of the stuff I want, not sure about logging traffic types though.
Could somebody offer me some insight as to how many hours of programming it would take to build something like the above? Or point me to good existing solutions?
