+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ng_ipfw
+.Nd interface between netgraph and IP firewall
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In netgraph/ng_ipfw.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm ipfw
+node implements interface between
+.Xr ipfw 4
+and
+.Xr netgraph 4
+subsystems.
+.Sh HOOKS
+The
+.Nm ipfw
+node supports an arbitrary number of hooks,
+which must be named using only numeric characters.
+.Sh OPERATION
+Once the
+.Nm
+module is loaded into the kernel, a single node named
+.Va ipfw
+is automatically created.
+No more
+.Nm ipfw
+nodes can be created.
+Once destroyed, the only way to recreate the node is to reload the
+.Nm
+module.
+.Pp
+Packets can be injected into
+.Xr netgraph 4
+using either the
+.Cm netgraph
+or
+.Cm ngtee
+commands of the
+.Xr ipfw 8
+utility.
+These commands require a numeric cookie to be supplied as an argument.
+Packets are sent out of the hook whose name equals the cookie value.
+If no hook matches, packets are discarded.
+Packets injected via the
+.Cm netgraph
+command are tagged with
+.Vt "struct ng_ipfw_tag" .
+This tag contains information that helps the packet to re-enter
+.Xr ipfw 4
+processing, should the packet come back from
+.Xr netgraph 4
+to
+.Xr ipfw 4 .
+.Bd -literal -offset 4n
+struct ng_ipfw_tag {
+ struct m_tag mt; /* tag header */
+ struct ip_fw *rule; /* matching rule */
+ struct ifnet *ifp; /* interface, for ip_output */
+ int dir; /* packet direction */
+#define NG_IPFW_OUT 0
+#define NG_IPFW_IN 1
+ int flags; /* flags, for ip_output() */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Packets received by a node from
+.Xr netgraph 4
+must be tagged with
+.Vt "struct ng_ipfw_tag"
+tag.
+Packets re-enter IP firewall processing at the next rule.
+If no tag is supplied, packets are discarded.
+.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
+This node type supports only the generic control messages.
+.Sh SHUTDOWN
+This node shuts down upon receipt of a
+.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
+control message.
+Do not do this, since the new
+.Nm ipfw
+node can only be created by reloading the
+.Nm
+module.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ipfw 4 ,
+.Xr netgraph 4 ,
+.Xr ipfw 8 ,
+.Xr mbuf_tags 9
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm ipfw
+node type was implemented in
+.Fx 6.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm ipfw
+node was written by
+.An "Gleb Smirnoff" Aq glebius@FreeBSD.org .
