Sorry about this question. Would you rate ipfilter for Openbsd as a totally

Are there any other firewall for AIX? I was asking the IBM guy a while ago
that the real name of the firewall is Firewall. I was really confused with
this. Although, it's not an issue. It could really be Firewall. And how
come, I asked him if it supports stateful packet inspection and he answered
me yes, is it true?
