For incoming packets, the packet's source address is checked if it
belongs to a directly connected network. If the network is directly
connected, then the interface the packet came on in is compared to
the interface the network is connected to. When incoming interface
and directly connected interface are not the same, the packet does
not match.
Usage example:
ipfw add deny ip from any to any not antispoof in

RTF_BLACKHOLE as well.
To quote the submitter:
The uRPF loose-check implementation by the industry vendors, at least on Cisco
and possibly Juniper, will fail the check if the route of the source address
is pointed to Null0 (on Juniper, discard or reject route). What this means is,
even if uRPF Loose-check finds the route, if the route is pointed to blackhole,
uRPF loose-check must fail. This allows people to utilize uRPF loose-check mode
as a pseudo-packet-firewall without using any manual filtering configuration --
one can simply inject a IGP or BGP prefix with next-hop set to a static route
that directs to null/discard facility. This results in uRPF Loose-check failing
on all packets with source addresses that are within the range of the nullroute.

firewall to be used in multiple passes, or with a packet classifier frontend,

This is done by extracting the required information out of the PCB
and caching it to the ipfw_chk() stack. This should greatly reduce
PCB looking contention and speed up the processing of UID/GID based
firewall rules (especially with large UID/GID rulesets).
Some very basic benchmarks were taken which compares the number
of in_pcblookup_hash(9) activations to the number of firewall
rules containing UID/GID based contraints before and after this patch.

source address of a packet exists in the routing table. The

This option is very useful for routers with a complete view of

by ipfw--and so should not be processed (this manifested itself
as a LOR.) The flag bit in the mbuf that was used to mark the
packets was not listed in M_COPYFLAGS so if a packet had a header
prepended (as done by IPsec) the flag was lost. Correct this by
defining a new M_PROTO6 flag and use it to mark packets that need

the routing table. Move all usage and references in the tcp stack
from the routing table metrics to the tcp hostcache.
It caches measured parameters of past tcp sessions to provide better
initial start values for following connections from or to the same
source or destination. Depending on the network parameters to/from
the remote host this can lead to significant speedups for new tcp
connections after the first one because they inherit and shortcut
the learning curve.
tcp_hostcache is designed for multiple concurrent access in SMP
environments with high contention and is hash indexed by remote
ip address.
It removes significant locking requirements from the tcp stack with
regard to the routing table.

trashed after being freed. This has caused several panics including
kern/42277 related to soft updates. Jim Kuhn tracked the problem
down to ipfw limit rule processing. In the expiry of dynamic rules,
it is possible for an O_LIMIT_PARENT rule to be removed when it still
has live children. When the children eventually do expire, a pointer
to the (long gone) parent is dereferenced and a count decremented.
Since this memory can, and is, allocated for other purposes (in the
case of kern/42277 an inodedep structure), chaos ensues. The offset
in question in inodedep is the offset of the 16 bit count field in
the ipfw2 ipfw_dyn_rule.

Set 31 is still special because rules belonging to it are not deleted
by the "ipfw flush" command, but must be deleted explicitly with

This implement a flexible form of "persistent rules" which you might

Note that this change does not violate POLA, because you could not
