Thanks for the reply Jim. I am using the ip_conntrack module to mark connections on a linux bridge to shape traffic. Sometimes if there is a DOS attack the ip_conntrack table overflows and the kernel starts dropping packets. I want to measure the rate at which the connections are being made and being entered in the ip_conntrack table so if there is a spike in the rate I will know that there is a DOS attack going on. I hope you can now understand my situation. I you need more information please let me know. Appreciate your help. Regards, Gaurav.
