What is missing in ipfw(8) and its ``fwd'' option from being a
successful implementation of policy routing?

- by using the match probability feature, you can implement
  the equal-access routing;

- by checking the source IP adress, you can implement
  the source-sensitive routing;

- by checking the IP TOS field, you can implement the
  quality-of-service routing;

- etc.
