dear Luigi,

do you run with em(4) driver?
do you mind point out where I could read additional info on how to
netmap-ipfw filter a traffic flow between 2 real boxes?

I would love to read further details on netmap filtering on real NICs,
because the default info is about vale: ports and not netmap: ports and
yes, for vale ports it works very nice
