I know dladm can show usage on per-interface, but, I'd like to see if flowadm is actually doing what it is supposed to be doing with a few simple rules I gave it (which are priority based, not maxbw).

The undocumented flowstat may do what you want.

You specify a flow with flowadm(1M) and then you use flowstat to monitor that flow.

The commit mentioned in 7210 goes back to the OpenSolaris days.  The commit in question introduces both dlstat and flowstat, both of which are undocumented, but may be the better-encapsulated features that you desire.
