Hello list.
(sorry for posting twice, patch seems to be too big to be posted as
attachment).
I've been hacking ipfw for a while and It seems there is something ready
to test/review in projects/ipfw branch.
Main user-visible changes are related to tables:
1) Tables are now identified by names, not numbers. There can be up to
65k tables with up to 63-byte long names (*1).
2) Tables are now set-aware (default off), so you can switch/move them
atomically with rules.
3) More functionality is supported (swap, lock, limits, user-level
lookup, batched add/del) by generic table code.
4) New table types are added (flow) so you can match multiple packet
fields at once.
5) Ability to add different type of lookup algorithms for particular
table type has been added.
5) New table algorithms are added (cidr:hash, iface:array, number:array
and flow:hash) to make certain types of lookup more effective.
6) No ABI breakage has happened: all functionality supported by old
ipfw(8) remains functional. Old & new binaries can work together with
the following restrictions:
* Tables named other than ^\d+$ are shown as table(65535) in ruleset in
old binaries
* I'm a bit unsure about "lookup src-port|dst-port N" case, something
may be broken here. Anyway, this can be fixed for MFC.
Some examples (see ipfw(8) manual page for the description):
0:02 [2] zfscurr0# ipfw table fl2 create type
flow:src-ip,proto,dst-port algo flow:hash
0:02 [2] zfscurr0# ipfw table fl2 info

IPFW internals has also changed significantly, mostly
userland-interaction part.
Changing table ids to numbers resulted in format modification for most
sockopt codes.
Old sopt format was compact, but very hard to extend (no versioning,
inability to add more opcodes), so
1) All relevant opcodes were converted to TLV-based versioned
IP_FW3-based codes.
2) The remaining opcodes (except NAT handlers) were also converted to be
able to eliminate all older opcodes at once
3) All IP_FW3 handlers uses special API instead of calling sooptcopy*
directly to ease adding another communication methods
4) struct ip_fw is now different for kernel and userland
5) tablearg value has been changed to 0 to ease future extensions
6) Batched add/delete has been added to tables code
7) Batched rule addition is coming soon (most of the changes has been
already done)
8) interface tracking API has been added (started on demand) to permit
effective interface tables operations
9) O(1) skipto cache (*2), currently turned on by default (eats 512K).
This has to be made optional
10) Rule counters were separated from rule itself and made per-cpu.
However, this part is not finished yet (problems with timestamps/api)
11) Make radix entries fit into 128 bytes
12) Make struct ip_fw more compact so more rules will fit into 64 bytes
13) Make interface tables use array of existing ifindexes for faster match
14) Several steps has been made towards making libipfw:
* most of new functions were separated into "parse/prepare/show and
actuall-do-stuff" pieces.
* there are separate functions for parsing text string into "struct
ip_fw" and printing "struct ip_fw" to supplied buffer.
15) Probably some more less significant/forgotten features
This is not final version: probably more documentation/style is
required, there are definitely some uncaught bugs, and so on.
However, test/feedback/review is welcome.
All these changes are available in projects/ipfw branch (synced to
recent -HEAD), but may be easily applied to recent 9/10 (at least kernel
part).
