Traffic Control And Report addon for IPCop project

This addon is a billing system for workgroups. It's dedicated to tariffication of traffic downloaded by GREEN or BLUE interface users. It's also dedicated to control access to ipcop box. All source code of this addon is distributed under the terms of the GPL.

This addon uses ipac-ng packet to make calculations. Ipcop includes ipac-ng by default. TCAR uses sendEmail v1.52 by Brandon Zehm. SendEmail is distributed under the terms of the GPL too.

Addon controls user access to ipcop box by ip and mac addresses through GREEN and BLUE interfaces. If user's ip and mac are not in user list then this user will be blocked - he will not be able to receive packets from ipcop box. This addon counts traffic which goes from ipcop box to ip addresses of GREEN and BLUE interface network.

At the end of the day it sends short report to user's e-mail. Also this addon sends general report to administrator's e-mail and to financial manager's e-mail.


Addon allows setting up maximal allowed traffic for every user per day, week or month. If user exceed his limit his traffic will be blocked and user will be notified by e-mail. When period is over traffic becomes unblocked again."
