Hi all,

I've tried the quota extension and I have a big question about it,
because the module and the kernel counter doesn't agree with the packets
number that have traversed the interfaces...

Here it's the example I tried:


In a first moment I insert a rule with an initial quota of 1000 bytes...
    0     0 ACCEPT     all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           quota: 1000 bytes

Next, I generate packets and here it's the amazing result....
    8   448 ACCEPT     all  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0
0.0.0.0/0           quota: 712 bytes

Theoretically, 1000 assigned bytes minus total traffic generated (448
bytes), must originate the remaining quota the rule has: 552. 
BUT IT SAYS 712 BYTES!!!!!

What's wrong????


Thanks in advance for your clarifications.
Best regards.
