iptables for bandwidth tracking

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey guys,

Our servers are in a managed hosting solution where we do not have access to our switch. We have a lot of users that use our VPN solution and I'd like to better track their bandwidth usage. I'm considering two options for this:

- Using one of the many libpcap daemons to monitor and record traffic patterns
- Use iptables

Each VPN node has the possibility of 64,000 IP addresses so if I used iptables, I'd need to create iptables rules for each of those IP addresses. That seems silly to me, but am I better off doing that than running a daemon that at the end of the day will basically do the same thing? Thanks in advance.
