IP Accounting

IP Accounting is used to count the total number of packets allowed (or not) to pass through an interface.
Statistics are given for packets that meet the criterions defined in a rule. (Traffic Rules are not supported). To
see all packets, a special rule list permitting everything can be defined. Rules are described in chapter 12.

Two versions of the IP account table are available for viewing. The result of INFO =>SHOW ACCOUNT TABLE
=>SUMMARY is shown below for four filter rules.
