ipac is a package which is designed to gather, summarize and nicely output the __IP ac__counting data. ipac make summaries and graphs as ascii text and/or gif images with graphs. ipac... * is for Linux * runs on top of the ipfwadm or ipchains tool * needs certain kernel parts compiled in * only supports ipchains based kernels (it has a big brother for iptables called ipac-ng which is close enough) Note: linux kernel 2.2 used ipchains, 2.4 uses iptables. HOW DOES IT WORK? ipac consists of two scripts (shell and perl) and one C program: - ipacset reads a configuration file and sets up ip accounting for the kernel using ipfwadm or ipchains - fetchipac, executed from cron once in a while, reads the current ip accounting data assembled by the kernel and writes it to a new file - ipacsum summarizes the data from a set of files and, optionally, replaces these files by one. It displays the values as a simple table containing the sums, as png graph pictures or as ascii graph pictures. ---- !Graphing ipac ipacsum(8). Perhaps you'd rather use [MRTG]?
