pf is actively developed and maintained on FreeBSD, and widely used. The PRs that are open are largely ages old, no longer relevant and need to be cleaned up, or were bunk to begin with. There aren't really that many open either considering, every component of any widely used OS has open bugs. That's not indicative of anything in itself generally. FreeBSD+pf is the base of a significant number of firewalls, 180,000+ known live systems on pfSense alone (though that's not quite stock FreeBSD pf, it's close), and many others.
It seems that people think that pf is unmaintained. Quite a disheartening thing for the person that did the hard work to create the smp-friendly pf in FreeBSD-10... I would be very happy if you had some performance comparison numbers between the old and new pf code that you would like to publish! Thanks a lot, Nikos _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pf To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
