Hi,
I want to count the number of bytes sent to a particular host
(filtering on ip) over a period of time to calculate a rough estimate
of the bandwidth that is being used. I was thinking of using snoop to
count the packets sent, then based on 1500 packet size calculating the
bandwidth used, is there a better way to do this?
Cheers

I'd think an IPfilter pass/log rule would be less effort.

Hi,
If you want to get exact data then using IP QoS and the flowacct module
would be the solution. See "man -s7ipp flowacct" (and the more general
manpages on ipqos and ipqosconf).
Bye,
Wolfgang.
