Coders participated in *BSD have began to know the real truth. Currently PF is the best filter on *BSD world. It has nearly all features and rapidly evolving package. Users already might know how ipfw2, ipf lagged behind regarding new features that required for todays' complex network environments. I think Itojun can make it work for NetBSD without much trouble. Supporters for ipf may object to replace ipf with pf. But I'm sure they may change their mind if they give pf try. At least NetBSD can ship both ipf and pf as FreeBSD does. For FreeBSD, there is more problems than NetBSD. FreeBSD have no ALTQ support and its IPv6 code is somewhat dated. I don't know why the Core members resync with KAME and import ALTQ. If ALTQ is really immature and unstable does this mean both NetBSD and OpenBSD has the same problem? As users already know, both NetBSD and OpenBSD is stable enough compared to FreeBSD. Itojun may import PF into KAME tree. Which PF(our ported one or a new one made by him) would be imported is not important to me. I just wanted to use PF on FreeBSD. Because no one made PF work on FreeBSD, I did it myself. The most important thing is whether the FreeBSD Core Members will import KAME tree. Our ported version can be a help until FreeBSD imports KAME with PF. > ------------- > > >Le Jeudi 26 Juin 2003 12:09, itojun@iijlab.net a =3DE9crit : > >> ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/netbsd-pf-20030626.diff > >Do you plan to integrate PF into Kame ? > > i'm using kame tree to port PF onto other platforms. > (in KAME repository we have open/net/free3/4/5/bsdi3/4 with share= > d > portion) > > itojun > > Reagrds Pyun YongHyeon -- Pyun YongHyeon <http://www.kr.freebsd.org/~yongari>;
