AFAIK, the ACCOUNT target (the one developed by Intra2Net, there are/were others) counts all IPv4 packets matched by the rule you use this target in. So your ruleset determines what is counted and what isn't. Now, ARP (which technically isn't an IPv4 layer 4 protocol but a supporting layer 2/3 protocol for IPv4) isn't normally matched by IPtables, unless you run a transparent (layer 2) firewall, and even then you'll probably need to use ebtables or arptables to match ARP packets. http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/ http://linux.die.net/man/8/arptables -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
