Can you describe what kind of product you are working on,
and your requirements?
Are you interested in:
(1) Using a system with VIMAGE compiled into the kernel,
using the packet filter (IPFW, ipfilter, or PF)
*not* inside a VNET jail.
(2) Using a system with VIMAGE compiled into the kernel,
*and* using the packet filter (IPFW, ipfilter, or PF) inside a VN=
ET jail.
My experience on what works in FreeBSD 9 is based on working with FreeNAS
(which is derived from FreeBSD 9):
ipfw: Seems to work with (1) or (2) with least problems, but needs more in=
vestigation
pf: Seems to work with (1), but (2) has problems some of which are fixed=
in FreeBSD 10
ipfilter: crashes on bootup
I committed one fix for ipfilter which is not in FreeBSD 9: https://lists.f=
reebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-all/2014-November/095036.html
which addresses (1) but not (2).
