i'm trying to do traffic accounting with iptables but the received
packets from iptables (iptables -L -v) and packets from ifconfig dont
match.
ifconfig counts more packets is it normal ?

my guess would be that 'ifconfig' counts packets such as arp and dhcp
requests/replies that never make it up to the netfilter hooks.
