I had a small-biz customer ask me today for a router or opensource software
that can help him track employee bandwidth usage.  Besides setting up
Wireshark for the times congestion happens, the only thing I could come up
with was a Cisco ASA 5505 and use the free versions of netflow monitoring
tools from Solarwinds or Plixer.

Any other ideas out there?  It would need to be dead-simple for the customer
to configure and set up.
