  which monitor? vd command?

  I tried this, but the internal count isn't accumulative? I want to know 
  the actual transfer rate, to pass the results to, i.e., mrtg.

  $IPT -N mld
  $IPT -A mld -j ACCEPT

  $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4661:4664 -j mld
  $IPT -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 12576 -j mld

  $IPT -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 4661:4664 -j mld
  $IPT -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 12576 -j mld

  then you can parse the output of the command
  iptables -nL -v -x | grep mld 

  and get the bytes from the second column to get the INPUT traffic and the
  OUTPUT traffic..but I think thise bytes are the accumulative count of the
  transfer rates, not the actual Kb/s...
