Mailing List Archive: realtime stats.

ipchains provides ip accounting information in /proc. iptables doesn't,
AFAIK.

Because of this, I personally used "libiptc", part of iptables, for my ip
accounting project. It enables your program to retreive all the
information an "iptables -L -n -v -x" returns.
