Hi,

I remember that I read, many years ago, something about the way ipfw
interacts with the IP stack. AFAIR, ipfw would be called on layer 2,
where only certain rules would be applied, then on the IP layer where
other rules would apply. Is it still the case? Where can I find th
description?

Best regards,

Olivier
