Ipfw+dummynet on Windows 10

[Srikanth Reddy]

Hi Ernie,
Thank you very much.
You are right, I was in the assumption that Freebsd team include Ipfw team.
Hence wrote the email to this community as I badly need windows 10 support.

It will be a great help if you can provide ipfw developer contact
information.

Thanks and Regards,
Srikanth.
