Routing table hits?

Question

With iptables -L -n -v, you can get the number of times each firewall rule has been applied, which is very useful in debugging. I'd like to know if there's a similar way to find out how many times a network route has been used. I'm mostly asking about Linux and Windows solutions, but any platforms' solutions to this would be interesting.

Answer 1

Try

route -neeC

and look at the "Use" column. man route says this is the count of lookups for the route.

Answer 2

FreeBSD:

netstat -rn

Linux:

netstat -rneC

Windows:
I think something can be done via netsh

Answer 3

I don't know of a way to get this information directly, but it would be relatively straightforward with a set of empty rules in iptables that match up with the rules in the routing table.
