      Hi everyone, Am trying to put my pfsense as a bridge between the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the LAN, my objective is to measure the rate at which the ISP is transferring packets (bandwidth  from the ISP). Help me out please. How do I have to go about?

        You want to use pfsense to measure bandwidth - and that is all?  Seems a bit overkill..  Here let me kill that fly with this bazooka sort of overkill.

          What I want among other things, is to be able to know how much exactly the ISP is giving me (the bandwidth). Help me out.

            What does that have to do with using pfsense with a bridge.. So you can not run speedtest from your client that your currently connected too.  I don't understand how pfsense be it in a normal nat routing setup or a bridge setup tells you how much bandwidth your ISP is giving you??  Sure you can see how fast a client is pulling/pushing packets to your isp and beyond.  But you can do that on the client as well.

            Here let me help you out
