How to obtain KBytes/sec in/out from a rule in real time

How to obtain KBytes/sec in/out from a rule in real time

[José Pablo Pérez]

HellO!

Anybody know if a tool or script exists out there to obtain the
KBytes/sec in/out from a rule in real time

In other words something that can parse something like this:

# iptables -L INET_IN_PORT -v -x
# iptables -L INET_IN_PORT -v -x -n

Thanks!

You could do things like:

a=$(tput clear) perl -e 'while (1) {
  open IT, "-|", "iptables", "-vxnL", "INPUT";
   $. = 0; print $ENV{a};
   while (<IT>) {
      s{^\s*(\d+)\s+(\d+)}{
        $n = ($1-$a[$.]) . " " . ($2-$b[$.]);
        $a[$.]=$1;
        $b[$.] = $2;
        $n
      }e;
      print
   };
   close IT;
   sleep 1}'

as a first approximation.
