I just re-read the posts and realized that some clarification is required. You do NOT have to create a bunch of static IP and map MAC to enforce individual quota's. That would be way too much effort. I've been using Gargoyle for a couple years at a not-for-profit CAMP along with QoS to cause that IP connection to slow down to 100kbs once the quota is exceeded. All bw/quota limited clients are DHCP. They get individually throttled when they exceed their individual quota. As stated earlier, I try to allocate weekday and weekend quota's so we stay under 10Gb for the month. IF the 10Gb for the entire camp is exceeded, then everyone gets throttled to 100kbs.

This quota system is the most powerful feature of Gargoyle! One feature suggestion: Keep the quota meter going beyond 100%, so the throttled continuation of services is added to the individuals total.

I'm also testing open-mesh at the site. Half the camp is using the open-mesh AP's. But to provide Gargoyle tracking, the OM routers are set up in BRIDGE mode.

Thank you to the developers for a great product! :D
