+traffic statistics, stores it and processes to build reports. Report is a set
+of user-defined tables. Table columns and rows are groups of hosts (traffic
+sources or destinations) aggregated according to the rules defined by user.
+What TAS can let you, in a few words:
+- Do traffic accounting on IP-level and application level
+- Store all accounting data for the desirable number of months for later
+ data extraction
+- Generate complex reports (in HTML or plain text) according to the
+ specified rules either on periodic basis or on demand
+- Have a convinient web interface for easy definition of report rules and
+ quick report generation
+What TAS is not intended for:
+- Time accounting
+- Accounting for non IP or IP-based traffic
+- Accounting by username (in case of password-based internet access)
+- Charging/Pricing/Billing/Client management
+- Gathering traffic accounting information from the router interfaces
+ like trafd, bpft, ipacctd, or ipa do (TAS is just a front-end for such kind
+ of programs)
+- Reports generation for arbitrary time intervals
