>Description:
IPFW2 with dummynet pipes 
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass: 0
no skipto rule

After 'ipfw -f flush' you will get lots of:
ipfw: ouch!, skip past end of rules, denying packet

It's bug because at least kernel rule 65535 should be used for packets going out of pipes after rule flush.

>How-To-Repeat:
PC1 -- ethernet -- PC2
Run iperf test between them

On PC1 od PC2 run:
/sbin/sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass 0
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 256Kbit/s queue 512KBytes
ipfw pipe 2 config bw 256Kbit/s queue 512KBytes
ipfw add 10 pipe 1 ip from any to any out
ipfw add 10 allow ip from any to any out
ipfw add 20 pipe 2 ip from any to any in
ipfw add 20 allow ip from any to any in
/bin/sleep 20
ipfw -f flush
>Fix:
Only workaround:
/sbin/sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=1
$fwcmd -f flush
$fwcmd add 65500 allow all from any to any

sleep XY to flush pipes, load new ruleset, one_pass=0 and delete rule 65500
