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
SNMP will record arps and other traffic that hits the nic regardless of
it being directed to that machine or not, iptables (above) will not.
The numbers will likely always be different, I am surprised that
iptables would ever report more data being processed than snmp would.
