Iptables counting with Layer7 patch

Iptables counting with Layer7 patch

[Douglas Lane]

Hi All,

I am wondering, if its possible to setup counters using mark under MANGLE to
mark certain packets that get tagged by the Layer7 patch.

Basically I want to take certain traffic (such as VoIP,HTTP,FTP,etc...) and
mark it on INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD chains and then using iptables -v to
get the packet statistics and log it into MRTG or something similar.

Is it possible, and any ideas how I go about doing this?

Thanks
Doug

Yes it is possible. Try:
iptables -t mangle -A INPUT -m layer7 --l7proto http \
-j MARK --set-mark 1

iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -m layer --l7proto http \
-j MARK --set-mark 2

iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -m layer --l7proto http \
-j MARK --set-mark 3

Get packet statistics with:

iptables -t mangle -L -n -v
