If you want to meter the TCP packets, for example, you can create
a new chain called TCPMETER and send all the data to that chain,
then in the chain you just add a single rule with an unconditional
RETURN. You just read the counters for that rule and you are done.

the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
