Does anyone know of a solution that offers precise methods of tracking bandwidth utilizations at the per Megabyte or Gigabyte level and not at the rate of transfer level?
I've used a tool called "IOG", which works to some extent, but it looks like it has problems with 64bit counters.
Some people are asking me if we can bill them in this manner, and I'm questioning whether the stats that the switch are giving us are that accurate.
Imagine this scenario: Customer Buys 600GB of "transfer" Customers transfers 600GB @ 100Mbps for however many hours. If you're being billed with 95th percentile, and your customer is being billed on transfer, guess who gets the short end of the stick...
