| 5 | The ACCOUNT target is a high performance accounting system for local networks. |
| 6 | It takes two parameters: --addr network/netmask and --tname NAME. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | --addr is the subnet which is accounted for |
| 9 | --tname is the table name where the information is stored |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The data can be queried later using the libipt_ACCOUNT userspace library |
| 12 | or by the "iptaccount" tool which is part of the libipt_ACCOUNT package. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | A special subnet is "0.0.0.0/0": All data is stored in the src_bytes |
| 15 | and src_packets structure of slot "0". This is useful if you want |
| 16 | to account the overall traffic to/from your internet provider. |
