I've written an IPFW MIB for net-snmp on FreeBSD allowing you to query the ipfw counters using snmp. This is very useful for monitoring various network statistics. I've maintained this patch since 2002 and it has proven itself very stable with various reports of success. I was wondering if there was any possibility to include this in the port, it would make future upgrade much simpler.
