Your use case is not beyond the possibility of full DPI, but a transparent proxy box of some nature would be sufficient for most of that. Usage limits on the other hand is often easier done via your AAA accounting/radius solution, including policing/shaping/cutting users off/billing for overages.
Ohh, and these boxes often make pretty pictures, graphs, and reports.
one wonders at the cost of these sorts of solutions relative to just link upgrades as well... for some deployments +1gbps capable boxes in redundant configs are far more expensive as compared with just upgrading 1gbps -> 10gbps ...
