I'm running a zfs replication task, of a snapshot size ~2.5GB. I see that there is traffic going between the master and the slave, by using snoop, but I want to monitor the transmission. Is there a temporary file that I can see being created?It's Nexenta OS on both master and slave.

No, there is no way to watch it, directly via ZFS send or receive.  Solaris 11.2 does have some verbosity available in zfs send that would allow you to gauge process.If you have access to the script, you could pipe the zfs send through 'pv' to watch progress, if that would be helpful enough.
