Hi,

I've got a Cisco 877 router (no not a network admin, just a geek) which I use for my primary DSL connection and I'd like to configure this to do traffic accounting.

Can anyone advise how an ISP does this (I run Linux) so I could simulate this at home?

Enable Netflows on your Cisco and send to your own netflows accounting Software running on a windosw/linux box

I understand cisco uses netflows - im not an expert in it.

Microtik people usually just use pppoe + radius which should also be avaliable in your cisco router when paired with a good radius server such as linux+dmasoftlabs
