Hi Paolo

It does appear to be related to filters not working correctly when applied to 
a tunnel interface. The tunnels we use are GRE and pmacctd correctly 
summarises the data and writes it to Postgres if no filters are used, but no 
data makes it to the database if a filter is applied which should generate a 
subset of the same data.

We are not using VLANs at present.

The traffic I am trying to account for comes into an ethernet interface 
encapsulated in GRE, gets NATed and leaves again via the same ethernet 
interface, so I really need to account for the traffic before it gets NATed 
on the tunnel interface otherwise I can't see the source hosts.
