Does anyone know how to report on bandwidth usage by IP?  I'm looking to only count the traffic when it is accessing the WAN address.  It sounds like a job for iptables, but I don't know how to go about setting it up.  Can anyone help?

TIA

I have been searching; I've seen the script for openwrt.  While it reports on a per-IP basis, it does not report only traffic destined for the WAN (I don't think).  I'm looking to exclude LAN traffic from the counters.
