[LARTC] rt_acct usage

[Joel]

Hi all,
Is there any documentation on /proc/net/rt_acct? What's it useful for? What
do I need to get going to make it record anything? Do I actually want to? :)
Thanks,
Joel

I think there is stuff in the iproute2 distribution that reads this file and
gives realtime statistics.

Okay, I found that. My rt_acct file doesn't have any entries, but the
headers in the utility look like it'd be useful. Do you have to mark routes
in a special way to get them to be accounted through this, or something like
that?

Thanks,
Joel

I have no clue. If you ever figure it out, we'll dedicate a chapter in the
HOWTO to it.
