Was this the sort of use-case you were looking for? :)

Ummm, not really... :)

Actually, we've been faced with proposals to build services based on traffic

sites, but not skype and video" or the capability to do exact metering based
on net traffic time or volume, as well as being able to redirect the
customer to various captive portals using HTTP redirect directly from the
DPI box, and such.
