I don't fully understand how is that possible that my rules count packet |
| 9 |
twice, could you explain it more briefly? |

I specified -i eth0 in PREROUTING and -o eth0 in POSTROUTING. Isn't this |
| 12 |
correct way to count packets only once? ...and I'm getting values only from |
| 13 |
chain 'stat', which is called only from PREROUTING and POSTROUTING with |
| 14 |
specified network interface respectively to direction (-i/-o eth0). |
| 15 |
So in my opinion a packet traveling through the router to my network passes |
| 16 |
only once through 'stats' as it is accepted only in PREROUTING with -i eth0, |
| 17 |
and not in POSTROUTING with -o eth0, as it goes out from eth1. Am I correct? |
