Hi, I am planning to move on IPFW from PF i have mentioned why in this[topic.](https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-change-packet-traversal-order-in-freebsd-ipfw-and-pf-firewalls-in-kernel-level.81482/) DragonflyBSD's IPFW3 has below pros which are IPFW2 has not 1)Load-balancing forward-option can be `round-robin' or `sticky'. Code: ipfw3 add forward 192.168.1.1:80,192.168.1.2:80 round-robin tcp from .... Above example can forward the traffic to 2 destination in round-robin. 2)States can be added/deleted using the ipfw3 utility. Code: ipfw3 state delete rulenum 3)States can be expire after some time Code: ipfw3 state add rule 1000 udp 192.168.1.100:0 8.8.8.8:53 expiry 600 ... These are some hard problems to me when i try to completely move on IPFW. So is there a way to port IPFW3 to FreeBSD. Thanks for any help and suggestions..
