− | + | IPFW or ipfirewall is an internet-protocol-firewall written for FreeBSD. | |

A firewall configuration, or ruleset, is made of a list of rules numbered from 1 to 65535. Packets are passed to the firewall from a number of different places in the protocol stack (depending on the source and destination of the packet, it is possible for the firewall to be invoked multiple times on the same packet). The packet passed to the firewall is compared against each of the rules in the ruleset, in rule-number order (multiple rules with the same number are permitted, in which case they are processed in order of insertion). When a match is found, the action corresponding to the matching rule is performed. | A firewall configuration, or ruleset, is made of a list of rules numbered from 1 to 65535.
