+ <para>Add the following kernel configuration option and

+ <listitem>
+ <para>Set a loader tunable
+ <varname>net.add_addr_allfibs</varname> if needed. This
+ enables to add routes to all FIBs for new interfaces by
+ default. When this is set to <literal>0</literal>, it will

+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>To select one of the FIBs, the new &man.setfib.1; utility
+ can be used. This set an associated FIB with the process. For
+ example:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; setfib -3 ping target.example.com</screen>
+
+ <para>The FIB #3 will be used for the &man.ping.8; command.</para>

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>All packets which have a FIB associated with them will
+ use the FIB. If not, FIB #0 will be used.</para>

+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>A packet received on an interface for forwarding uses
+ FIB #0.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>A TCP listen socket associated with an FIB will generate
+ accept sockets which are associated with the same FIB.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>A packet generated in response to other packet uses the
+ FIB associated with the packet being responded to.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>A packet generated on tunnel interfaces such as
+ &man.gif.4; and &man.tun.4; will be encapsulated using the

+ <listitem>
+ <para>Routing messages will be associated with the process's
+ FIB.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Also, the &man.ipfw.8; now supports an action rule
+ <literal>setfib</literal>. The following action:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>setfib <replaceable>fibnum</replaceable></programlisting>
+
+ <para>will make the matched packet use the FIB specified in
