The "quota2" implements a named counter which can be increased or decreased
|
||||
on a per-match basis. Available modes are packet counting or byte counting.
|
||||
The value of the counter can be read and reset through procfs, thereby making
|
||||
this match a minimalist accounting tool.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
When counting down from the initial quota, the counter will stop at 0 and
|
||||
the match will return false, just like the original "quota" match. In growing
|
||||
(upcounting) mode, it will always return true.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB--grow\fP
|
||||
Count upwards instead of downwards.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB--name\fP \fIname\fP
|
||||
Assign the counter a specific name. This option must be present, as an empty
|
||||
name is not allowed. Names starting with a dot or names containing a slash are
|
||||
prohibited.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
[\fB!\fP] \fB--quota\fP \fIiq\fP
|
||||
Specify the initial quota for this counter. If the counter already exists,
|
||||
it is not reset. An "!" may be used to invert the result of the match. The
|
||||
negation has no effect when \fB--grow\fP is used.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB--packets\fP
|
||||
Count packets instead of bytes that passed the quota2 match.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Because counters in quota2 can be shared, you can combine them for various
|
||||
purposes, for example, a bytebucket filter that only lets as much traffic go
|
||||
out as has come in:
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6881 -m quota --name bt --grow
|
||||
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 6881 -m quota --name bt
