Hello, you can use the ipac-ng (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipac-ng/) toolset to implement counters with iptables. ipac-ng generates iptables-rulesjust for accounting, this data can be summarized and even be graphed. ( i use mrtg for graphing the data, but ipac-ng includes a graph-generator itself) i hope that's what you were looking for Tobias On Thu, Mar 14, 2002 at 03:43:09PM +0200, Sebastian Taralunga wrote: > > Thank you VaibhaV, > > Your script works just fine however my problem is to get traffic information > about both downlink and uplink on a NAT server.
