The ISP for which ulog-acctd was developed uses it for accounting on
some of its core routers, but the traffic we have seen there are
usually about 10 Mbits/s, sustained. 

I can't really tell you anything about whether ulog-acctd will scale
higher or not.

Good to hear. :-)

Watch out for "No buffer space available" messages in the debug log
file. This means that ulog-acctd has missed traffic. Increasing kernel
buffer sizes as described in the manual has helped us there.
