   Sorry for that, I should have explained better.  By "user" I mean the   
   actual user ID on the system, not a host or NIC.  The exact details look   
   like this: I get an email from the IT department that machine X   
   generated 2TB of outgoing traffic in 1 week.  Now I already know how   
   this traffic was generated; Bit Torrent.  But it's a machine with about   
   150 users, so I'd like a way to find out which user is responsible for   
   the traffic peak.   
      
   I don't think I need traffic shaping or quotas.  Just a means to see how   
   much bandwidth each user consumed so I can simply email them to throttle   
   their downloads and uploads in the future.   
      
   I guess actual per-user traffic shaping would be quite complicated, so   
   that's why I asked about a tool that can give the info I need.
