No, unfortunately I don't, I always get what I need out of the man pages
(which comes with the install).
Here is a snippet of a relevant part of the man pages for ipchains:
Accounting rules are now simply integrated into the input
and output chains; you can simulate the old behaviour like
so:
ipchains -N acctin
ipchains -N acctout
ipchains -N acctio
ipchains -I input -j acctio
ipchains -I input -j acctin
ipchains -I output -j acctio
ipchains -I output -j acctout
This creates three user-defined chains, acctin, acctout
and acctio, which are to contain any accounting rules
(these rules should be specified without a -j flag, so
that the packets simply pass through them unscathed).
This doc outlines local traffic accounting. You would need to put the NIC
into permiscuous mode so it accepts all packets, and then do your rules:
if source = LAN and dest = LAN then
ignore
else
add packet to bandwidth counter
endif
ie
ipchains -N isptraffic
ipchains -N localtraffic
ipchains -I input -s 10.0.0.0/16 -d 10.0.0.0/16 -j localtraffic
ipchains -I input -s !10.0.0.0/16 -j isptraffic
ipchains -I input -d !10.0.0.0/16 -j isptraffic
In retrospect, if you are not familiar with linux tcp/ip routing principles,
this may be a lot of work just to do some network accounting. Perhaps there
are prefab apps that run on windows, have you tried tucows?

Subject: [CFTALKTor] OT - Network traffic
Hi All,
Sorry to post off topic, but I was wondering if anyone on the list know
of
any way of metering the amount of traffic we use from our ISP. We are
shopping for a DSL connection but we haven't got a clue how much we have.
We are presently using a small linksys router to share our present
connection.
If anyone has a suggestion I appreciate it.
Please reply off list.
Thanks
Mickael
