I dont know of any debian based solutions, but you can buy cheap
Portmaster 2's to do exactly this, at a very cheap price point. A PM2-25
can do this easily, and can be had on the market for ~$500 -- and can hook
up to 25 hosts.

sounds like you might want to look into caida and netflow

There are also a few hacks around for MRTG that will allow you to bill
based on the 95th percentile, which is AFAIK, the common method.
I'd be happy to help you out with any network problems, free of charge,
feel free to send me (or even this list) your problems, and i will give it
my best shot.
