NBAR Bandwidth Control

[hci]

Any plans to add something like NBAR to StarOS? From what I have heard P2P now amounts to %60+ of all Internet traffic. We do bandwidth accounting and I have noticed that %5 of our users are responsable for the use of about %75 of our resources. I am pretty sure thats mostly P2P too. Everyone seems to have a different idea of what to do about it. We have mostly $40(cheap when we provide wireless gear) wireless acounts with a 2gigbyte monthly quotta and many users hitting over 15gigabyte a month. Bill them, slow them down, ignore them and so on. I would like to slow the P2P down drastically for those accounts and if they go elsewhere cheer them on. Of course some people install this stuff on there PC and forget about and there upstream is maxed out 24/7 and they do not even realize it.

We do have plans, but they are still in the research phase at this point in time.

Thanks!
