Feature request - a *whole connection* logging facility

[akukula]

Hello,

It would be really helpful to have a facility that would log the whole connections, just like some dedicated firewall products do. Here’s what I mean:

Connection from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx to yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:yyyyy initiated 2007-07-05T01:00:00+02:00 closed 2007-07-05T01:05:00+02:00 555555/7777777 bytes transferred

I think it’s pretty easy to implement that, because there’s working connection tracking facility, just to add timestamps and logging to it.

I agree, we need it.

Is RouterOS (Mikrotik team) able to realize this?
We need this due to our code ZEK 127/2005 sb.

You can already do this with netflow.
