Hi,

first of all, thanks for this nice tool.

I am trying to setup accouting for a small subnet using pmacct. Right  
now, I am only interested in total traffic per IP. I have setup pmacct  
on a test box that utilizes a PPP uplink. On the test machine the  
traffic reported seems reasonable. However, on the gateway machine for  
the subnet I want to account traffic on, I get weird results. Within a  
few minutes the traffic reaches Gigabytes, which I know is not the  
case because I can compare the results to the data my ISP provides.  
Unfortunately they only provide totals for in and out.

                                  +------- Host A
              +---------+         |
ISP --- eth1 | Gateway | eth2 ---+------- Host B
              +---------+         |
                                  +------- Host C

My ISP routes a /28 subnet through eth1 of the gateway machine pmacct  
is running on. My pmacctd.conf looks like an example I found on the net:

debug: false
interface: eth1
daemonize: true

aggregate[inbound]: dst_host
aggregate[outbound]: src_host
aggregate_filter[inbound]: dst net Subnet_IP/28
aggregate_filter[outbound]: src net Subnet_IP/28
plugins: mysql[inbound], mysql[outbound]

sql_db: bwstat
sql_table: acct
sql_table_version: 1
sql_passwd: thepassword
sql_user: bwstat
sql_refresh_time: 5
sql_history: 1h
sql_history_roundoff: mh

I am using bwstat to have a look at the data.
Is my configuration wrong ? Any ideas what could cause the high amount  
of traffic reported ?

Thanks in advance
