When we ran with ipfilter v3 we graphed in/out bytes using the values found
in "netstat -s". But with version v4 these values do not seem to represent teh whole picture anymore.


It is almost as if all NAT traffic was not counted - only originating traffic. Is this possible?

So kstat reports:

e1000g0: 5084403  bytes sent
e1000g1: 35756402 bytes sent

Where as netstat -s:
3542 bytes sent.



Is this a known side effect? I guess it isn't the end of the day, I was worried when the b/w graph went along the floor instead of being at a constant 6-7Mbps.
My best guess would be that perhaps "pfil" would need to update such statistics, if one would really care about it. "ipfstat" only shows packets, and not bytes or I would use it.
