Without route (or ip) the dhcp stuff is useless. As far as firewalls go, first came ipfw, which was replaced by ipfwadm in the 1.3.x series; ipfwadm was re-written as ipchains in the Linux 2.1.x timeframe. For Linux 2.4.x, ipchains was replaced by iptables. iptables was supplemented with ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables. Recently (3.13), the guys who originlly did *tables came out with nftables; nftables unifies all the *tables stuff into one codebase.
