Re: I wonder how the count the traffic

said by bugabuga:

That's not necessarily true. Routing doesn't change. IP address linked to modem's MAC address doesn't change. Traffic may still come down to the node etc
Unlike dial-up, cable modems have quite consistent IP addresses
If you power your cable modem off, the CMTS will know there is not a link any longer and release the IP.

I would expect it to be tied into the MAC address of your cable modem.

It is tied to the MAC address of the device attached to the cable modem.

They could probably use something as simple as SNMP to read the stats going over the Internet side.
MRTG, Cricket, etc. could all do the function fairly easily.
The longest part would be implementing (documenting, NOC, process, etc.)
