Hi

Is there any of Cisco feature that let me measure the amount of
network usage per user or per ip address.
For example: I have 10 computer on my LAN, what can i do if i want to
know, let say pc01 use how many Mb per period of time? Is it possible
to do it?

Thanks,

Hi

netflow is adequate to this task. Let's have a look at

With ip accounting it's much to difficult to investigate. You had to sum up all lines for an specific ip and you can't see which traffic flows because no ports are shown in accounting. Another problem is that you can't find out when traffic was generated unless you do a clear ip accounting, let's say, every minute.
