I've never seen a really in-depth analysis of ipfw. I've seen a lot of work
around ipf and definitely ipchains and iptables under Linux, but not ipfw.
Anyone seen a book devoted to the topic? What about a really good article?
I have a good understanding, and already use it, but this just got me thinking.
