Hi Guys, I have about 1000 rules in the iptables. All these rules just forward the incoming traffic to other systems. I am trying to measure CPU usage of the netfilter. I tried to measure with top command but some how it always shows that CPU is 95% idle. I am not sure if top is the appropriate command to measure CPU usage of the netfilter. Since all the filtering is happening inside the kernel there should be some other command to measure kernel's CPU usage. I would appreciate if someone can point to the right direction. Thanks. mf
