Re: Internet usage and monitoring

["Kurt Buff" <kurt.buff () gmail com>]

Squid runs on Windows.

Don't know how *well* it runs on Windows, but there's a binary
download from the Squid website:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Download/binaries.dyn

NTOP will indeed break out http(s) traffic, but will only give you the
top three talkers easily - it's a pain to drill down to find bandwidth
usage for other users, as it's really a tool for measuring bandwidth
utilization in the aggregate, more than it is for potocol analysis and
user monitoring. It just looks at packets going by.
