This information should be provided on a time interval basis (e.g., between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., how much traffic per IP/MAC address). If possible, I would like to know traffic from my localhost regardless of what it is forwarding (as it is the default gateway for the LAN, I don't know if that would be possible). This can be done with IPA (its in the ports) in combination with IPFW. If you like graphics then you could add MRTG on top of it all. This is how it would look: http://www.kruijff.org/stats/?dir=docs/file=IP_accounting.txt I have tree articles about how to setup this. These need to read in order. The first is about setting up a simple firewall, the second is to add IPA and the thirth is about adding MRTG. Please contact me if you have trouble with it. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Gateway traffic reporting tool (port)
You can easily use count rules in ipfw for this. I did this back when I had a roommate who was a pornmeister. The first month that our DSL bill came in at plus $30, I started counting. He was using about 85% of our bandwidth. Later, Jason C.

If I am wrong please correct me, it is the only way we learn. 'ipfw show' gives a byte count as well as a packet count. It's in the man page.
