• Tracking user data by IP and MAC address (MAC address tracking will be out in the second release)Specifying quotas and bandwidth limits by IP or a subnet blockMonitoring real-time bandwidth utilization at any timeSetting up a notification alarm when a user exceeds a bandwidth limit
• Utilizing an API programming interface

In addition to providing the option to create separate bandwidth quotas for individual customers and reduce a customer's Internet pipe when they have reached their individual set limit, customers themselves can be notified when a limit is reached and even have access to an interface to monitor current monthly usage so they are not surprised when they reach their limit.

If you do not currently have the resources to use our API and customize it to fit your business, please contact us and we can arrange for one of our consulting partners to put together an estimate for you. Or, if you just have a few questions, we'd be happy to put together a reasonable support contract (Support for the API programs is not included in our standard setup support).
