Does anybody know a software for monitoring internet usage and control bandwidth speed and quotas for each user/MAC in a centralized server for a small LAN network (less than 100 PCs).

I'm not clear on what you're asking. You want to monitor bandwidth from each machine, from each user on each machine, or traffic from different users only to/from the server? Or something else? Are you trying to controlling bandwidth centrally or from each node? – belacqua Mar 14 '11 at 23:06
