And down the road you might want to limit bandwidth for each IP, detect mac address changes, try to detect browser changes, try to detect reinstalls, limit number or connetions per ip, try to hide clients from each other, show everyone a welcome screen / login screen (captive portal) if they're not logged-in, give people logins, give clients access from this date to this date with associated load amount, assign bandwidth depending on the type of load, have a list of people who have load, list of people who don't have load, list of people sorted of total paid load, optionally prevent accounts from being used in more than one computer, aggregate bandwidth from multiple internet connetions, scripts and circuitry to powercycle your hubs/switches/APs/routers when you can't ping some host, make bandwidth from google faster than the rest, config squid to double browsing throughput, make some IP ports slow and some fast, hehehe OSS is powerful!
