Hello All,

I am pretty new with OpenSolaris and trying to explore the possibility
of using OS for one of my project.

For my project I need to know the total number of bytes sent and
received by an ip including that of ongoing sessions. OS records these
information in a flow table and outputs to disk after end of each
session. So out of box I can only get the count of completed sessions,
and not that of ongoing sessions.

Solaris documentation states that

"The flowacct module gathers information about flows in a flow table
that is composed of flow records. Each entry in the table contains one
flow record. You cannot display a flow table."

But my requirement needs the data from the current session also at the
time of reading. Can dtrace help me to gather flow records that are
stored in flow table?

Since I am pretty new to OS and dtrace is bit daunting at first look,
some pointers where I can start working would be very helpful

thanks and regards,

raj
