man ipchains
Set up some packet accounting rules with ipchains that actually do
nothing but match for specific network traffic, for example:
ipchains -A input -i eth0 -d 20.20.20.254
This is just an example, substitude the destination ip with your
public address.
This input chain rule will count the number of packets originating
from anything coming from the network(s) on eth0 destined for the
internet.
To see a packet summary count:
ipchains -nvL
To see an exact byte count:
cat /proc/net/ip_fwchains
As for cutting off access when limits are set... you'll have to
set up a cron job yourself to do this. Shouldn't be too hard to
do using either a shell or perl script.
