I'm not sure its the best way, but I'm using ipac-ng to create my
iptables rules for traffic monitoring, it works fairly well, and you get
a useful tool with ipacsum for graphing, creating images or just printing
out basic information -
mail:~# ipacsum |grep total
total in all : 40T
total out all : 832G
