Hello people,

Can anybody help me with understanding the difference between ipfilter(ipf) 
and ipfirewall (ipfw).
Any link to docs or info will greatly help me. I use FreeBSD for almost 5 
years, but i used only ipfw for packet routing
and never use ipfilter for this. I wonder is it "internal" packet routing 
mechanism or maybe it is just for compatibility with OpenBSD? Sorry if this 
question is so stupid, but i am really dont know what ipfilter is,
man ipf did not help me with understanding the difference.

Thanks.

Sorry if i mistake list to wich i need send this.
