I currently have a script, running every minute, which
adds all counters to ones in a file and zeros them. I
don't have daily/weekly statistics collected, but that's
easily implemented. I also wrote a simple C program,
which saves counter infoformation without zeroing them.
A very simple CGI script shows every user in a network
their personal traffic count.

Это не так сложно.
