    Use iptables to monitor speed of interface

    On linux, there is possibility to use iptables counters which are similar to /proc/net/dev. It is enaught to parse output of iptables and read it as /proc/net/dev/format.

    If it is possible, we can:

    - monitor any data flow which we are possible to reach by iptables
    - monitor traffic on bridge interfaces on linux (not possible today)

    Do you think this is usefull for you too ? It is more complicated to compute speed of iptables chain by userparameter. I think this solution is more clean.
