Through the stimulating discussion we had under ``IP Acounting Idea for 2.5'', it appears that a separate Traffic Flow Measure- ment and Accounting sub-system would be useful. See: <http://logi.cc/linux/CounterReset/> If anybody is working on Real Time Traffic Flow Measurement (RTFM) please reply. I would also like to know if there are any objections to providing a RTFM interface in the kernel (as an optional module). FYI: Considerable work has already been done on RTFM in general and for other systems: <http://www2.auckland.ac.nz/net//Internet/rtfm/> <http://www.caida.org/> Relevant RFCs include: 2720 ... 2724 Thanks -- Manfred Bartz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
