Dear all,

Based on the amount of still outstanding (serious) bugs and my own
experiences with IPFW in 5.3, I'm getting some doubts about the
stability and (near) future & develoment of IPFW.

My problems with IPFW in 5.3:
- Forwarding not working in 5.3
- Statistics do not seem to be correct (or maybe packets do not pass the rules properly).

With 4.8 IPFW did not have the above mentioned problems.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Martin
