Hi everyone,
Soon, I will replace a Cisco 2600 by a Linux Box. I want to use Netfilter to have some feedback of the traffic on the machine. I know that basicly, Netfilter is use for security purposes, but i'm sure it can be veryuseful in giving some feedback on plain routing.

First, I want to know if anyone ever did that and a few tip would be appreciated ???? And if it's worth it ?? of course.

Then, off-topic unfortunatly, if someone ever did that switch, is there anything I MUST know about the job a cisco router's doing compare to a linuxbox. Don't tell me that I have to know the routing table.... I'm not that stupid :-) But just some stuf that I might forget ???
Thanks...

P.S. I will also put a good traffic monitor on the box... The concept of Netfilter is just to add some feed back.

Scouby
