8.3. Using IP Accounting Results

It is all very well to be collecting this information, but how do we
actually get to see it? To view the collected accounting data and the
configured accounting rules, we use our firewall configuration
commands, asking them to list our rules. The packet and byte counters
for each of our rules are listed in the output.

8.3.1. Listing Accounting Data

The iptables command behaves very
similarly to the ipchains command. Again, we
must use the -v when listing tour rules to see the
accounting counters. To list our accounting data, we would use:

# iptables -L -v

Just as for the ipchains command, you can use
the -x argument to show the output in expanded
format with unit figures.
