Re: [HEADS UP!] IPFW Ideas: possible SoC 2008 candidate

Hi Julian Elischer!

here are some of my ideas for ipfw changes:

1/ redo locking so that packets do not have to get locks on the
structure... I have several ideas on this

Currently the main need for locking arises for rule byte/packet counters. The
easiest short-term solution

2/ allow separate firewalls to be used at different parts of the
network stack (i.e allow multiple taboe sto co-exist)

Umm, could you explain it a little?..

3/ possibly keeping per CPU stats..

How that would be represented to user?
