This is not a matter of Cisco-copy or Juniper-copy -- any properly operating router vendor with service provider featureset would implement per-interface firewall hooks (including us). I simply disagreed with the ipfw modification (btw it was my personal disagreement, not a constructive one), but not Gleb's idea. In my ideal world of things, I'd rather have per-interface hooked firewalls operating inside ip_fastforward, not inside regular ip_input functions. At least in the way we modify things for our own, we insert all router-like functionalities within the ip_fastfwd.c ; ip_input.c and others are largely untouched for regular non-router host environment. -J -- James Jun TowardEX Technologies, Inc.
