ip6fw is before networking. ipfw is supposed to be taking
over from ip6fw. ipfw and ip6wf should be started at a
similar time.
rtsol is approximately the equivalent to DHCP. The machine is
requesting a address from the network. It doesn't matter if
it is a router or a DHCP server that is suppling the address.
DHCP only works because it bypasses the firefall.
