Nowhere ;-) how about just return the counter values for the correct tap device through API? So it is basically: 1.) a wrapper from netX to correct tap 2.) query tap counter inout / output values 3.) allow to query this through API So it is at least possible to implement traffic account in external software. You jsut have to query the API every X seconds and detect resets yourself. It acts than basically like SNMP traffic counters in switches.
