In this chapter I am going to develop a simple bandwidth meter using the following functions from libiptc:
To initialize the system: iptc_handle_t iptc_init(const char *tablename).
To catch from errors: const char *iptc_strerror(int err).
To iterate through the chains of the table: const char *iptc_first_chain(iptc_handle_t *handle) and const char *iptc_next_chain(iptc_handle_t *handle).
To read packet and byte counters for a specific rule: struct ipt_counters *iptc_read_counter(const ipt_chainlabel chain, unsigned int rulenum, iptc_handle_t *handle).
Also the function gettimeofday will be used to measure elapsed time and the function getopt to get options from the command line.
I don't know really if the term bandwidth meter is well used here. I interpret bandwidth as a reference to a flow capacity; perhaps a better term could be flow meter.
Here is the bandwidth meter bw.c. It's well commented to be easy followed by everyone:

Write your program and compile as before:
bash# ./ipt-cc bw |
Before using the meter we need to set our environment.
First, we have to have at least 2 PCs connected in a network. This is our diagram configuration:
+--------+ eth0 eth0 +--------+ | PC #1 +-----------------+ PC #2 | +--------+ +--------+ eth0=192.168.1.1 eth0=192.168.1.2 |
Second, we need to install a very nice and useful package called netcat written by Hobbit. This excellent package will help us to inject and receive a flow of bytes between 2 NICs. If you don't have the package in your system, download it from http://rr.sans.org/audit/netcat.php.
The version that I use is 1.10-277. To install it follow these instructions:
bash# cp netcat-1.10.tar.gz /usr/local/src bash# tar xzvf netcat-1.10.tar.gz bash# cd netcat-1.10 |
My version requires to make a patch first; check yours if you have a file with a .dif extension and apply it too:
bash# patch -p0 -i netcat-1.10.dif |
Next compile the package using make:
bash# make linux |
Copy the binary nc to your user bin directory:
bash# cp nc /usr/bin |
And also to the second PC in your network:
bash# scp nc 192.168.1.2:/usr/bin |
We are going to use netcat to "listen" to a flow of bytes from PC #2 and to "talk" from PC #1. Using tty1 to tty4 consoles on PC #2 let's start netcat to listen from this PC. Go to PC #2 and in tty1 type:
bash# nc -n -v -l -s 192.168.1.2 -p 1001 >/dev/null |
netcat must respond with:
listening on [192.168.1.2] 1001 ... |
This command started netcat to listen from address 192.168.1.2 using port number 1001. Arguments are: -n = use numeric address identification; -v = verbose; -l = listen. All the flow that netcat receives in 192.168.1.2:1001 will be redirected to the "black hole" in /dev/null.
Repeat the command in tty2, tty3 and tty4; change to tty2 using ALT-F2 and after logging in write:
bash# nc -n -v -l -s 192.168.1.2 -p 1002 >/dev/null |
Now we are "listening" to the same address but port number 1002.
Go on now with tty3:
bash# nc -n -v -l -s 192.168.1.2 -p 1003 >/dev/null |
And tty4:
bash# nc -n -v -l -s 192.168.1.2 -p 1004 >/dev/null |
Now we are listening in PC #2, address 192.168.1.2 in ports 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004.
Come back to PC #1 and let's set the environment to allow iptables to help us to complete our tests:
On PC #1, type the into tty1 as follows:
bash# iptables -F bash# iptables -X bash# iptables -N chn_1 bash# iptables -N chn_2 bash# iptables -N chn_3 bash# iptables -N chn_4 bash# iptables -A chn_1 -j ACCEPT bash# iptables -A chn_2 -j ACCEPT bash# iptables -A chn_3 -j ACCEPT bash# iptables -A chn_4 -j ACCEPT bash# iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 1001 -j chn_1 bash# iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 1002 -j chn_2 bash# iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 1003 -j chn_3 bash# iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 1004 -j chn_4 |
These commands will:
Flush all chains in table filter.
Delete all user chains in table filter.
Create user chains chn_1, chn_2, chn_3 and chn_4.
Establish a target ACCEPT in each user chain.
Create 4 rules in chain OUTPUT that matches port numbers 1001 to 1004 and target it to user chains chn_1 to chn_4.
Now start the bw meter using current values:
bash# ./bw -c |
It must respond with:
Displaying current flow values ... 0.0k: 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k: 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k: 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k: 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k |
It informs that measures are current flows. Every line is a measure taken each SLEEPTIME lapse (1 second in our program). First column (in black) are total flow, next columns (in red, green, orange and blue) are flows in chains chn_1, chn_2, chn_3 and chn_4 respectively. Of course we do not have any flow now. However let bw run and continue reading.
Let's start now one of our byte flows; go to tty2 in PC #1 with ALT-F2 and after logging in, type:
bash# yes 000000000000000000 | nc -n -v -s 192.168.1.1 -p 2001 192.168.1.2 1001 |
netcat responds with:
(UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.2] 1000 (?) open |
Now we have a flow of bytes from PC #1 to PC #2. yes generates a constant flow of zeroes; this flow is piped to netcat through address 192.168.1.1, port 2001 and sends it to PC #2, address 192.168.1.2, port 1001 (where PC #2 is listening).
Check now the display of bw in tty1:
7653.2k: 7653.2k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 7829.5k: 7829.5k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 7786.7k: 7786.7k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k 7892.1k: 7982.1k 0.0k 0.0k 0.0k |
Your mileage can vary depending of the physical characteristics of your system. In mine I have a flow of aproximately 7700 kbits/sec in the first chain chn_1 which corresponds to port number 1001 in PC #2.
Let's start now the second bytes flow; go to tty3 in PC #1 with ALT-F3 and after logging in, type:
bash# yes 000000000000000000 | nc -n -v -s 192.168.1.1 -p 2002 192.168.1.2 1002 |
netcat responds with:
(UNKNOWN) [192.168.1.2] 1002 (?) open |
Now we have 2 flows of bytes from PC #1 to PC #2; one from 192.168.1.1:2001 to 192.168.1.2:1001 and another from 192.168.1.1:2002 to 192.168.1.2:1002.
Now check the display of bw in tty1:
7819.6k: 4144.2k 3675.4k 0.0k 0.0k 8090.5k: 3923.9k 4166.6k 0.0k 0.0k 7794.7k: 3920.8k 3873.9k 0.0k 0.0k 7988.3k: 3754.6k 4233.7k 0.0k 0.0k |
Now we have 2 flows; each of them is more or less 50% of the total flow going out of the computer. The Linux kernel tries to balance the bandwidth available between the 2 channels of output.
To continue, start the 2 aditional flows through channels 192.168.1.1:2003-192.168.1.2:1003 and 192.168.1.1:2004-192.168.1.2:1004.
In tty4 type:
bash# yes 000000000000000000 | nc -n -v -s 192.168.1.1 -p 2003 192.168.1.2 1003 |
In tty5 type:
bash# yes 000000000000000000 | nc -n -v -s 192.168.1.1 -p 2004 192.168.1.2 1004 |
The display of bw in tty1 will be something like:
8120.6k: 1705.3k 2354.9k 1898.6k 2161.8k 7765.3k: 1634.2k 2560.2k 2011.4k 1559.5k 7911.9k: 1699.8k 2090.3k 1768.0k 2353.8k 8309.4k: 1734.5k 1999.7k 1999.9k 2575.3k |
Total bandwidth is distributed between the 4 channels of flow.
