Subject: Double rules for using NETFLOW?
Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2011 15:31:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D492B87.5050008@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi All,
I am using ipt_NETFLOW 1.7 on my RHEL 6 (2.6.32) box. Now if I
want to accept packet destined for some port and at the same time I want
it to be accounted also, then I have to use the following rules:
iptables -A INPUT --dport <portnum> -j NETFLOW
iptables -A INPUT --dport <portnum> -j ACCEPT
This makes that every packet that I accept should have two rules
(one for accepting and one for accounting). Don't you people think that
it will increase the number of rules a packet has to traverse? Or is my
understanding wrong?
Regards,
Seenu.
