Hi Taqdir,

It is the same thing.  When you configure "ip accounting" with no
parameters it will do accounting for egress traffic only.  In fact, if
you configure "ip accounting" and hit enter and then look at your
running config you will see that it actually will change it to "ip
accounting output-packets"

To answer your other question, yes that is what I would do since ip
accounting measures egress traffic.
