There is now: pf comes with 64bit statistic counters. For now you can put them on one interface only, but in future version there will be more flexible statistics. Additionally there are many accounting programs out there which utilize various existing (32bit) counters or the [i]pf[w] interfaces: sysutils/ipa or net-mgmt/ipacctd to name just two off the top of my head. -- Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
