Is there a way to do a monthly traffic limit in Tomato, DDWRT or OpenWRT in addition to the regular QoS?

This is for a house with several students sharing the internet.

I.e. for a specific IP address, IP Range or MAC address, the firmware will count the download traffic for that month. When a configurable limit is set, it'll either limit it to say 64kbit/s up/down or drop all traffic and maybe redirect web traffic to an internal web server telling them that they have exceeded their quota.

How can this be done with those firmwares?
