--- Comment #5 from Vincenzo Maffione <vmaffione@FreeBSD.org> ---
Is suricata using netmap over a VLAN interface (rather than a physical
interface)?
In that case you are going through the "emulated netmap adapter", which is a
way to use netmap (at reduced performance, and with some functional limitat=
ion)
over any Ethernet interface. In other words, VLAN interfaces do not (and
cannot) have native netmap support (e.g. like ixl, ixgbe, em, vtnet, vmx, e=
tc).
This may explain what you see, since in emulated mode you are still partial=
ly
using the network stack.

Or maybe your suricata is configured to forward packets between the physical
interface and its host rings (e.g. between "igb" and "igb+"), which means t=
hat
packets actually pass through the FreeBSD network stack, and therefore thro=
ugh
pf.

In any case netmap does not touch the packets in any way, and does not call
into any firewall or similar packet processing element.
