Re: Measuring network traffic on the same interface, to different nets



Sorry, I meant to send:

(I wasn't sure what your network address(es) were, so replace 202.0.0.0/8 with your information)

iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 202.0.0.0/8 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT 2 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -o 202.0.0.0/8 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT

By setting up allow rules for both in/out for the internal and external networks, this should provide the data you need. I believe MRTG also allows for mutli-colored graphing (i.e. in/out traffic on one graph for instance).

 
This will setup the rules in the proper order, and you can reset the counters any time you wish, or write a script to collect/reset them and import them to an mrtg compatible file.

p.s. the iptables rules do not _have_ to stay at #1 and #2... I simply choose to do that for my own purposes internally :). They should, however, be in that order.
