IP Accounting

We have added a new gateway in the network and planning for a migration, one site at a time, so that all the HTTP traffic originated at a site will exit via this new gateway. We will be using policy routing and have setup a subnet for testing. Traffic originated at the site where new gateway is connected, is in VLAN300. Other remote sites are connecting to this site via ATM PVCs. I have enabled IP accounting on the interface (Gi13/48) where the gaeway is connected. I would like to see that the HTTP traffic originated at remote sites is extiting via this port (as "ip accounting" gives source and destination info for all transit traffic). I can see packets originated at this site (from VLAN300) taking the desired next-hop. However, I do not see any packets coming from remote sites on respective ATM PVCs taking the desired path. My question is, why I am not seeing these packets transiting through this 6513 using "sh ip accounting". I confirmed the path of the packets coming from remote sites by connecting sniffer and they ARE taking the desired path, only "ip accounting" does not show that. Is there a DETAILED explanation of this command available? Cisco documentation did not help much on this.

The behaviour that you are observing is correct. Using IP accounting, only transit IP traffic is measured and only on an outbound basis; traffic generated by the software or terminating in the software is not included in the accounting statistics.
