Hi, using iptables I have setup a traffic accounting on one of our client's gateways: iptables -A INPUT -i $WAN -j LOG --log-level debug iptables -A OUTPUT -o $WAN -j LOG --log-level debug iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG --log-level debug syslogd collects the entries in a single file which is analysed daily. The results corresponds to the amount of data I get with "iptables -L -v -n" . The provider of our client uses snmp on his router to calculate the traffic. Strange, but true: The numbers are never the same, sometimes iptables logs more traffic, sometimes snmp. The differences are between 1 and 25 %. Obviously someone is doing something wrong. The provider is one of Germany's big player, so I guess I made the mistake. But where and why? Thanks for any hint.
