Actually it shouldn't touch many if any pieces of src/sys. Everything should happen via sorta published API's the other firewall packages use as well. Most important pfil hooks. The hardest part probably is to get the locking right. Please run changes to src/sys/net* through glebius@ and me (andre@) first before committing. In most, if not all cases, it is possible to find a generic way of doing things or to standardize on a common one for all of our packet filters. -- Andre
