-.Sh IPFW2 ENHANCEMENTS
-This Section lists the features that have been introduced in
-.Nm ipfw2
-which were not present in
-.Nm ipfw1 .
-They are listed in order of the potential impact that they can
-have in writing your rulesets.
-You might want to consider using these features in order to
-write your rulesets in a more efficient way.

-.It Syntax and flags
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not support the -n flag (only test syntax),
-nor does it allow spaces after commas or support all
-rule fields in a single argument.
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not allow the -f flag (force) in conjunction with
-the -p flag (preprocessor).
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not support the -c (compact) flag.
-.It Handling of non-IPv4 packets
-.Nm ipfw1
-will silently accept all non-IPv4 packets (which
-.Nm ipfw1
-will only see when
-.Em net.link.bridge.ipfw=1 ) .
-.Nm ipfw2
-will filter all packets (including non-IPv4 ones) according to the ruleset.
-To achieve the same behaviour as
-.Nm ipfw1
-you can use the following as the very first rule in your ruleset:
-.Pp
-.Dl "ipfw add 1 allow layer2 not mac-type ip"
-.Pp
-The
-.Cm layer2
-option might seem redundant, but it is necessary -- packets
-passed to the firewall from layer3 will not have a MAC header,
-so the
-.Cm mac-type ip
-pattern will always fail on them, and the
-.Cm not
-operator will make this rule into a pass-all.
-.It Addresses
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not support address sets or lists of addresses.
-.Pp
-.It Port specifications
-.Nm ipfw1
-only allows one port range when specifying TCP and UDP ports, and
-is limited to 10 entries instead of the 30 allowed by
-.Nm ipfw2 .
-Also, in
-.Nm ipfw1
-you can only specify ports when the rule is requesting
-.Cm tcp
-or
-.Cm udp
-packets.
-With
-.Nm ipfw2
-you can put port specifications in rules matching all packets,
-and the match will be attempted only on those packets carrying
-protocols which include port identifiers.
-.Pp
-Finally,
-.Nm ipfw1
-allowed the first port entry to be specified as
-.Ar port:mask
-where
-.Ar mask
-can be an arbitrary 16-bit mask.
-This syntax is of questionable usefulness and it is not
-supported anymore in
-.Nm ipfw2 .
-.It Or-blocks
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not support Or-blocks.
-.It keepalives
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not generate keepalives for stateful sessions.
-As a consequence, it might cause idle sessions to drop because
-the lifetime of the dynamic rules expires.
-.It Sets of rules
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not implement sets of rules.
-.It MAC header filtering and Layer-2 firewalling.
-.Nm ipfw1
-does not implement filtering on MAC header fields, nor is it
-invoked on packets from
-.Cm ether_demux()
-and
-.Cm ether_output_frame().
-The sysctl variable
-.Em net.link.ether.ipfw
-has no effect there.
-.It Options
-In
-.Nm ipfw1 ,
-the following options only accept a single value as an argument:
-.Pp
-.Cm ipid, iplen, ipttl
-.Pp
-The following options are not implemented by
-.Nm ipfw1 :
