NPF (was Re: Future of pf / firewall in FreeBSD ? - does it have one ?)

[Pedro Giffuni]

FWIW, and while I still wonder why we need three packet filters …

There is yet another firewall implementation in NetBSD:

http://www.netbsd.org/~rmind/npf/

It seems to be more portable, it is thought with SMP-friendliness in mind and according to a EuroBSDCon talk ports for FreeBSD and Illumos were being considered.

Good to have more options … I think.
