Ben Wong at MostlyGeek pointed out that a great way to watch traffic on FreeBSD is the command systat -ifstat 1 which shows:

                    /0   /1   /2   /3   /4   /5   /6   /7   /8   /9   /10
     Load Average   ||   

      Interface           Traffic               Peak                Total
