Routing table hits?

  • 772

With iptables -L -n -v, you can get the number of times each firewall rule has been applied, which is very useful in debugging. I'd like to know if there's a similar way to find out how many times a network route has been used. I'm mostly asking about Linux and Windows solutions, but any platforms' solutions to this would be interesting.

    Try

    route -neeC

    and look at the "Use" column. man route says this is the count of lookups for the route.

  2. I don't know of a way to get this information directly, but it would be relatively straightforward with a set of empty rules in iptables that match up with the rules in the routing table.

  3. FreeBSD: 

    netstat -rn

    Linux:

    netstat -rneC

    Windows:
    I think something can be done via netsh
