You are quite right... I didn't want to put that stuff in our thread, but it
*has* to be mentioned that rsync + ssh (and YES I am using -C compression!)
does meanfully change the amount of data transferred.

Do you already have some sort of practical suggestion? I'm not used to use
iptables, I stopped playing with that piece of software some 6 years ago :-/
But indeed, I think that would be the only way to do some sort of
"accounting" or "billing" of bandwidth usage...

If you talk about the same things I am clueless about (skip, create, pool,
same, and so on), then I'd be *too* interested in some precise definitions.
