Overview
The host traffic statistics module monitors the traffic of hosts in a LAN, and sends statistics reports in the
syslog format to the specified log host. From the log information, the administrator can get the number
and bytes of service-specific packets sent/received by each host.
To collect statistics for a service, you need to reference the corresponding service resource. The
unspecified network services are taken as one statistics item.
Recommended configuration procedure
Before you configure host traffic statistics, complete the following tasks:
• Specify the IP address of the log host. For more information, see "Managing logs."
• Specify the service resource. For more information, see Access Control Configuration Guide.

statistics functions.
