Hi,

Is it possible to get flow accounting on a per ip basis and to reset
it after reading.

For example I have couple of IPs who are throttled with a fixed
bandwidth. Currently flow accounting will give accounting on a file at
the end of every session. My requirement is to get consolidated  bytes
sent and received by an ip at the instant of reading. The current flow
account cannot be used to satisfy such a requirement especially if
there is a long running TCP session.

For example under Linux/IPTables, each rule has a bytes counter which
will give packets/bytes seen by that rule at the instant of reading.
This is the kind of feature I am looking.

Opensolaris already have a table of flow records which have all
information I want, but I needs to be able to read it in real time
rather than from a file. Will dtrace help me in reading flow records
file?

Is there any "better" way to achieve the same results?

I would be glad if I can also able to reset the counter after I read it.
