Local IP Traffic Accounting
Home menu level: /ip accounting
Description
As each packet passes through the router, the packet source and destination addresses are matched
against an IP pair in the accounting table and the traffic for that pair is increased. The traffic of PPP,
PPTP, PPPoE, ISDN and HotSpot clients can be accounted on per-user basis too. Both the number
of packets and the number of bytes are accounted.
If no matching IP or user pair exists, a new entry will be added to the table
Only the packets that enter and leave the router are accounted. Packets that are dropped in the router
are not counted. Packets that are NATted on the router will be accounted for with the actual IP
addresses on each side. Packets that are going through bridged interfaces (i.e. inside the bridge
interface) are also accounted correctly.
Traffic, generated by the router itself, and sent to it, may as well be accounted.
Property Description
enabled ( yes | no ; default: no ) - whether local IP traffic accounting is enabled
account-local-traffic ( yes | no ; default: no ) - whether to account the traffic to/from the router
itself
threshold ( integer ; default: 256 ) - maximum number of IP pairs in the accounting table (maximal
value is 8192)
Notes
For bidirectional connections two entries will be created.
Each IP pair uses approximately 100 bytes
When the threshold limit is reached, no new IP pairs will be added to the accounting table. Each
packet that is not accounted in the accounting table will then be added to the uncounted counter!
Example
Enable IP accounting:
[admin@MikroTik] ip accounting> set enabled=yes
