Abstract
A network device includes match filters to be applied to packets transiting two or more network interfaces. In one example, a network device includes a filtering unit configured to apply one or more filters to a first packet transiting a first network interface to determine a first rule the first packet matches, send the first packet and data representing the first network interface to a first accounting filter associated with the first rule, apply the filters to a second packet transiting a second network interface to determine a second rule that the second packet matches, the second packet being different than the first packet, and the second network interface being different than the first network interface, and send the second packet and second data representing the second network interface to a second accounting filter associated with the second rule.
