How to count traffic from IP A to IP B and back in Mikrotik?

Question

Mikrotik

Good afternoon, the
local computer 10.10.10.10 via Mikrotik (here it is natated / masqueraded and the outside world) goes to the site 11.11.11.11.
What is the easiest way to calculate the traffic between them? (Download and Upload)

Answer 1

/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward src-address=10.10.10.10 dst-address=11.11.11.11 action=passthrough comment="upload to 11.11.11.11"
add chain=forward src-address=11.11.11.11 dst-address=10.10.10.10 action=passthrough comment="download from 11.11.11.11"

action=passthrough won't do anything to the packet. Just count it. You will see both the number of packets and the amount of traffic.
Raise the rules higher and watch traffic for health.

Answer 2

Read about netflow. Mikrotik exports statistics, and there you can do whatever you want with it.

Answer 3

probably, you can mark the traffic to the desired ip and multiply the number of packets by their size according to the tick counter for the desired time interval
