The OpenBSD toolbox for network debugging just got better. In a recent thread on tech@ titled pfctl show fragment info, Alexander Bluhm (bluhm@) posted a patch to enable packet reassembly statistics in pfctl(8).

Several other developers joined in, and Claudio Jeker (claudio@) suggested that systat(8) should too be enhanced to display packet reassembly data in pf(4) related views.

If you know you occasionally or even frequently need to see fragment reassembly statistics, you will appreciate this improvement to the two crucial tools pfctl(8) and systat(8).
