If you don't want to mess around with IPtables just to do traffic
accounting, you could try

http://wyae.de/software/trafan/

which works even from a third machine - just plug in and be happy. I do
not have any experiences with high load scenarios, though.

Hmm, I have a very low disk-usage... 
I save the results all 5 Minutes and this give a very short 
flash at the HD LED. Oh yes, I hav only a 5400 prm. 

All work of ipac is done in memory...

Don't forget to use a good logging program like socklog!
also this is good doc:

I don't really know that stuff... If you just want to log tcp/udp/icmp
ip use iptables:

iptables -N watchit
iptables -I watchit -s 10.1.0.0/24 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix 
'##_NEW_## '

and periodically do something like

tablestats () {
iptables -vnL >>${LOG}/iptablestats-${now}
iptables -t nat -vnL >>${LOG}/iptablestats-${now}
}   


or you may need qdisc routing and logging, I don't know much about
that. My favorite setup is an ebtables bridging router/fw (has no ip
address), patched to send packets through the netfilter tables. :)
That and iptable stats should probably cover your needs.

Yes, you're right but my question is, is there have other way to do accounting
some bash, shell script to fetch traffic with "tc" command from cbq shaper ?

I don't run it, I'm just a by stander; but I bet you are not dealing
with cpu issues but disk io. run top and compare system load to your cpu
state % idle time.

If you've got idle cpu, and load over one, you are most likely dealing
with disk speed not cpu time for hardware scsi, striped raid, on 15k
rpm disks :-P unfortunatly that's a lot more difficult and expensive
than upgrading cpu and ram :-\

I have over 2000 rules "bgpeer tx/rx", "internet tx/rx", "local traffic tx/rx"
machine is AMD Athlon XP 1700+ with 1G ram i forgot how many rules are
limit in iptables but when they are so many this is really sucks this is
on 100Mbit LAN the problem is when fetchipac is running and ipacsum because 
file in /var/lib/ipac-ng/data.db is over 5G when file i smaller traffic is smaller
or fetchipac and ipacsum is not running everything is fine i think thats can not be

I think there is no other choice...

I use ipac on a 100 MBit LAN where I count the traffic of five 
11 MBit WaveLAN-Channels... where ipac has two NIC's and is 
In-Line between the Main-Router and the Switch where the Lucent 
ORINOCO COR-1100 and wireless Bridges are connected...

Each channel has 120 Clients...

I use a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ with 512 MByte of memory and the 
load is around 17...

I have for each client (all fixed IP's) two rules (rx/tx) to the 
Internet and two rules (rx/tx) to the internal mail-Server. 

So I have completly 2400 rules plus som special-rules to count 
ftp, http, shttp and mail traffic. 

In summary around 2500 rules.

What Do you have ???

That could be somebody or something trying to use a buffer overflow
attack. That kind of attack often crashes the target machine and leaves
signs like long lines in syslog. The fact that the machine rebooted so
many times could be a sign that the exploit didn't work and the attacker
was not able to brake in but I would not trust on that.

On the other side, it could be a hardware problem too, memory being the
principal suspect.
