ulogipac is a powerful IP traffic accounting tool for Linux routers and hosts. You can use the power of iptables rules to specify which traffic you want to account and which *not*. The size of IP packets sent to ulogipac through iptables is counted and buffered. After a configurable timeperiod you can submit the traffic information to your database servers (currently only MySQL is supported). You can specify 1 to N servers to send traffic information to.
Once ulogipac is installed you can start using it in combination with iptables rules. Normally you want to account traffic, which is routed to a linux router from one network interface to another or others (for example ppp devices terminating PPTP/PPPOE/DIALIN sessions).
