Hi.
The iptables man page states that:
RATEEST
The RATEEST target collects statistics, performs rate estimation
calculation and saves the results for later evaluation using the
rateest match.
The simple question is: where are the results saved, actually? :)
In other words, is there any way to access and collect such data
to pass them to some userspace tool, like rrdtool, for example?
Regards.

If I read correctly the sources, into ram.

Like also you can read, there is no direct possibility... There is no
external (proc|sys) interfaces. May be if someone create a simple patch...
P.s. $KERNEL_SRC/net/netfilter/xt_rateest.c|xt_RATEEST.c

Ok, I suspected, since I searched widely both in /proc and in /sys...

Yes, it could be really useful. ;-)
TY.
