Re: hi

Maybe it's just my kernel, but ifconfig seems to have a maximum of 4096 MB that it accounts for in receiving and transmitting traffic per interface. So it won't be too useful once you hit that limit.
I'd suggest googling for iptables traffic accounting, or something along those lines. Here's the first thing that popped up which might get you started (from this same list a few months ago): http://lists.debian.org/debian-firewall/2003/debian-firewall-200305/ msg00065.html .

An easier way to do this would be to just parse the results returned by the

It contains the amount of bandwidth passed through each interface.
Although if you want more detailed information you could use iptables or 
have a "tcpdump" running in the background.
Unfortunately I have tried only the first (easier and faster) way of
obtaining the bandwidth, so if you do find some way of getting that from 
iptables, please let us know.
