It's a matter of logging. We log NAT translations, DHCP leases, and NAC
authentication. It's then just a matter of scripting to tie External IP
-> Internal IP -> MAC Address -> username.

We are facing the same issue as we NAT IP's as well. Any suggestions for NAT'ed IP translation ?

This is a problem for us too.  We have a hard time identifying the
students as we NAT them all to a single IP on their way out.  When we
get an RIAA Notice it just tells us that someone was uploading from our
NATted address.  That does not help me much.

Do your students all have routable IPs?  I don't see how I could
positively prove a student was uploading unless they have routable IPs.
Am I missing something?

bandwidth based on total demand using our NetEqualizer.
