I hope I'm understanding you correctly.
It sounds like you are wanting to do your accounting after you filter
out most of the chaff / noise / IBR that you don't want. Correct?
If this is the case, why don't you have your filtering rules DROP /
REJECT / otherwise discard the packets you don't want and then have a
follow up rule that ACCEPTS the packet and do your accounting there?
At least if I understand you correctly, filtering packets before they
hit your accounting rule should do what you are wanting.
