Hey, interesting. I've always gathered that to be the distinguishing
feature between them. I mean - from ipf(5) - ipfw doesn't do

       state  keeps information about the flow of a communication
              session.  State  can be kept for TCP, UDP, and ICMP
              packets.

this. Ipfw sees each packet as a distinct entity. But if that
has changed while I was asleep, so more the better. I'm
using ipfw, you see <g>.
