<filename>-
Location of an FTM configuration/rules file.
Theory
FTM reads a list of monitor sections, each containing a list of networks, expected bandwidth usage, and a description of the section. It uses this information to keep track of traffic flowing through the machine and display average throughput of each monitor section over a configurable period of time.
Notes
The configuration file allows you to specify a chain which FTM should use to add/remove its rules. Therefore, if you want it to leave your own rules alone, just add the following rules:
iptables -t filter -N stats iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j stats
