Is there a guide somewhere that explains the values of the "ST" column that is shown when I run ipfstat -t?

I've got recurring issues where a remote office is trying to access a website that is behind an ipf firewall, and instead is getting connection failures. At the same time, other offices are able to connect with no problem.

While investigating, I've noticed that the ST (which I assume is state) shows a 2/3 or 0/3, while successful connections are showing 4/4. Google tells me that 4/4 means a completed connection, but I can't find info on the other states.

Where in the man page does it explain the values of the "ST" column?

From the man page:
Show the state table in a way similar to the way top(1) shows the process
It means read top command man page to get information about output.

Heh.

Ok. Where in the 'top' man page does it explain what the values in the 'ST' column shown by the 'ipfstat -t' command mean?
