    I'm running 2.4.0.b.20170802.1526 and I'm in the same boat, my tagged VLAN interface out is showing double of my WAN in. I also verified using iftop that the VLAN interface is not showing double, only the traffic graph does. I also have 4 tagged VLANs on that interface and no untagged VLANs.

      Double-quoted traffic on VLAN interfaces was a problem in the past but solved (about a year or so ago).
      Seems to be newly featured on Github again. Report on Redmine!

          Hi!

          Any idea if this is pfsense bug or upstream?
          I would really like this to be resolved in 2.4…

            Maybe you could install "nload" on ssh/console?

            pkg add http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:11:x86:64/latest/All/nload-0.7.4_1.txz
            
            

            Start it use arrows to switch to desired nic/vlan and compare with traffic graphs.

            It should pull statistics from sysctl just like pfSense.. And if also wrong then points a little to freebsd.
            Though i suppose it could still be a issue introduced by pfSense's changes somewhere..

              Hehe :)
              So here we go, guess pfsense bug after all….

                Oké i guess its still not 100% definitive…

                Pfsense calls sysctl with:

                CTL_NET, PF_LINK, NETLINK_GENERIC, IFMIB_IFDATA, {ifidx}, IFDATA_GENERAL
                

                Where it retrieves the data: bytes, packets, collisions, multicasts, mtu
                https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/blob/devel/devel/php56-pfSense-module/files/pfSense.c#L3210

                While nload calls sysctl with:

                CTL_NET, PF_ROUTE, 0, 0, NET_RT_IFLIST, 0
                

                Where it retrieves the data: bytes, packets, errors
                https://github.com/liuyang1/nload/blob/master/src/devreader-bsd.cpp#L108

                So its similar but not the same, and that might be for a good reason. I'm not exactly sure.. Though i guess most of those extra data items are not needed for traffic graphs..

                  Jarred is on the case 😁
                  Maybe just fewer flags and thats it.

                    I think this is the issue jahonix was referring to: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3314

                    If that's the case someone else might pick up the ticket, but for now I'll try and find the commit with the patch.

                    edit: I tried running:

                    git log --since "MAY 18 2015" --until "MAY 20 2015" --pretty=format:"%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%ad) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset"
                    

                    on the following repos:

                    
                    pfsense/pfsense
                    pfsense/FreeBSD-ports
                    pfsense/FreeBSD-src
                    
                    

                    without any luck finding the patch so far. I may have accidentally missed it or be taking the wrong approach.

                        2.3:

                         			ifp->if_opackets++;
                         			//ifp->if_omcasts += mcast;
                         			//ifp->if_obytes += len;
                        

                        2.4:

                        			if_inc_counter(ifp, IFCOUNTER_OPACKETS, 1);
                        			if_inc_counter(ifp, IFCOUNTER_OBYTES, len);
                        			if_inc_counter(ifp, IFCOUNTER_OMCASTS, mcast);
                        

                        In 2.4 it looks different.. probably needs some // as well.. https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_4/sys/net/if_vlan.c#L1132

                                @jared: I didn't do a thing despite remembering that I had this problem in the past myself.
                                And someone gave me a smite for it anyways.  ;-)

                                I'd love to contribute more actively but my programming abilities are elsewhere (Crestron mainly).

                                    Hi

                                    My Lan is a parent interface of 2 Vlan's. When someone transfere something from internet on one of the Vlan's interface the Lan interface have the same bandwidth usage (if no one use Lan otherwise it sum the  bandwidth). Ideally, in my case, should be the bandwidth used in Vlan not sum in the Parent interface.

                                    Some stuff i can point is the rule from Vlan to internet have a limiter.

                                    The double bandwidth is solved in Vlan's interfaces.

                                    pfSense:
                                    ASRock -> Wolfdale1333-D667 (2GB TeamElite Ram)
                                    Marvell 88SA8040 Sata to CF(Sandisk 4GB) Controller
                                    NIC's: RTL8100E (Internal ) and Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual (Intel 82571GB)
