As per if_bridge(4):
     When filtering is enabled, bridged packets will pass through the filter
     inbound on the originating interface, on the bridge interface and out-
     bound on the appropriate interfaces.  Either stage can be disabled, th=
is
     behaviour can be controlled using sysctl(8):

     net.link.bridge.pfil_member  Set to 1 to enable filtering on the incom=
ing
                                  and outgoing member interfaces, set to 0 =
to
                                  disable it.

     net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge  Set to 1 to enable filtering on the bridge
                                  interface, set to 0 to disable it.

     net.link.bridge.ipfw         Set to 1 to enable layer2 filtering with
                                  ipfirewall(4), set to 0 to disable it.  T=
his
                                  needs to be enabled for dummynet(4) suppo=
rt.
                                  When ipfw is enabled, pfil_bridge and
                                  pfil_member will be disabled so that IPFW=
 is
                                  not run twice; these can be re-enabled if
                                  desired.
