["hare ram" <hareram@sol.net.in>]

Hi Stef

How about Source and Desitination port, and protocol wise bytes transfer (
like http, ftp, icmp, udp), if i want to track.

next limitation, if the Server goes down, the traffic will be zero, that
will be another Limitation

If i send the all the traffic to Mysql, so i can get the old data to.

may be you can correct me if, i may be wrong thinking

correct me with the best methods to do
