Re: [LARTC] tools for traffic monitoring

Correct me if I am wrong, your idea of stats collection is based on
iptables. This is beautiful by itself as it is directly related to firewall
rules.
On the other hand, if one's purpose is to measure qdisc/classses,  wouldn't
it be better to use 'tc' , much like those explained in HTB user guide
chapter 7  ?

Examples, tc -s -d qdisc show dev eth0
                tc -s -d class show dev eth0
       etc.

In any case, whether is using tc or iptables, it will require a fork to
collect
results. If I need to run it continuously, any words of advise regarding
avoiding excess load ?

Regards.
