I put 'count' rules in /etc/ipf.conf and then via cron, use
'ipfstat -ao -ai' to get byte-counts for each network. I then
submit the data to an oracle server using various sed scripts
and other miscellaneous tools..

It's all fairly custom on our end but I'm sure you can figure out
what you need for your setup.
