<![CDATA[Inspect queues in realtime]]>Hello

Is it possible to see what is passing by any queue (of traffic shaping)?

I have 7 queues, and about 20 rules to route my home traffic through them. It is quite difficult to be sure I did a good job ;-)

Is there a nice way to see "live" what goes through any queue? I already know the stat page, but that does gives me only a glance. I would like to see: traffic TCP from IP blablabla to IP blablabla is on Queue blablabla…

Thanks for your support (and your great product, by the way)

@Nullity:

You can use tcpdump on pflog and see what rule matches each packet, assuming logging is enabled.

something like "tcpdump -lnettti pflog0".

I usually use pftop via terminal/SSH.

Check out OpenBSD's pf documentation. The lesser known features can usually be found there.
