As I remember it, the only feature IPFilter had that I used that pf
doesn't have was the ability to simulate throwing packets at it and
see what their disposition is.  I wrote a test harness to check the
sanity of my firewalls, before committing them to CVS.

I highly recommend switching to pf.  I haven't followed ipfilter, but
it's encumbered and last I checked (a _long_ time ago), it didn't have
packet scrubbing or nearly 50% of the features of pf.
