Hi,

Fiddling around with ipfw, I noticed that 'ip6fw -ta l', under byte 
reports, does not include the base IPv6 header in the length 
calculation (hmm.. I wonder how it would calculate the length of 
extension-header chained packet).

IPv4 byte statistics, on the other hand, include the IPv4 header 
bytes.

Is this a known problem?  Is it a more general BSD kernel problem?
