If told him he could get L7 info he would be happy, but I think the
bytes/sec over time per user would be good enough.

Does DansGuardian do usage monitoring?  I didn't read that when scanning
through their pages.  Network Guardian does, but it appears to be WWW
focused, not all types of traffic.

Hmmm. Well does he want layer 7 info or just raw data?

Maybe DansGuardian or other tools might have better reporting systems?
