    Having the possibility to tag a packet would be worth indeed. But I
    think that Milan wants to bring network stack virtualization in
    newer release of FreeBSD IIUC. This would be, IMO, a great improvement
    of FreeBSD networking, although I'm pretty sure this would make Netgraph
    people react a bit ;-).

    Would it be possible to share this tag among pf and ipfw ?
