It seems like you'd have to do per-packet accounting at every router, and coordinate billing/reporting amongst all providers that saw those packets.See, now, I expected to hear that objection. Internet engineers are prone to try to solve this problem in favor of the viewer, and their networks -- with their networks winning in case of a push.
Should be easy enough on your subscriber ports to use igmp to see who has subscribed to which groups, shouldn't it? Just log igmp changes and there's your accounting.
