Dear Sirs. I asked this question prior and it's coming up again. FreeBSD comes with two firewall systems/ IP filtering kernel facilities. At this moment we use IPFW to filter but I saw many updates for IPF in the last period. Can anyone tell me the benefits of both systems? What is the real FreeBSD native filtering code and which one is the fastest one? Maybe ist is a foolish question, but behind this there is a lot of manitanance stuff ... Thanks in advance, Oliver - MfG O.
