<para>Shorewall accounting rules are described in the file
|

<filename><filename>/etc/shorewall/accounting</filename></filename>. By
|
||
default, the accounting rules are placed in a chain called
|
||
<quote>accounting</quote> and can thus be displayed using
|
||
<quote>shorewall[-lite] show -x accounting</quote>. All traffic passing
|
||
into, out of, or through the firewall traverses the accounting chain
|
||
including traffic that will later be rejected by interface options such as
|
||
<quote>tcpflags</quote> and <quote>maclist</quote>.</para>

<para>In all columns except ACTION and CHAIN, the values <quote>-</quote>,

<para>The accounting rules are evaluated in the Netfilter
|
||
<quote>filter</quote> table. This is the same environment where the
|
||
<quote>rules</quote> file rules are evaluated and in this environment,
|
||
DNAT has already occurred in inbound packets and SNAT has not yet occurred
|
||
on outbound packets.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Accounting rules are not stateful -- each rule only handles traffic
|
||
in one direction. For example, if eth0 is your Internet interface, and you
|
||
have a web server in your DMZ connected to eth1, then to count HTTP
|
||
traffic in both directions requires two rules:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting> #ACTION CHAIN SOURCE DESTINATION PROTOCOL DEST SOURCE
|
||
# PORT PORT
|
||
DONE - eth0 eth1 tcp 80
|
||
DONE - eth1 eth0 tcp - 80</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Associating a counter with a chain allows for nice reporting. For
|
||
example:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting> #ACTION CHAIN SOURCE DESTINATION PROTOCOL DEST SOURCE
|
||
# PORT PORT
|
||
web:COUNT - eth0 eth1 tcp 80
|
||
web:COUNT - eth1 eth0 tcp - 80
|
||
web:COUNT - eth0 eth1 tcp 443
|
||
web:COUNT - eth1 eth0 tcp - 443
|
||
DONE web</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Now <command>shorewall show web</command> (or
|
||
<command>shorewall-lite show web</command> for Shorewall Lite users) will
|

give you a breakdown of your web traffic:</para>

<para>The structure of the accounting rules changes slightly when there

in kernel 2.6.21 and later, output accounting rules must be segregated

from forwarding and input rules. To accomplish this separation,

Shorewall-perl creates two accounting chains:</para>
