* Support limiting TCP connections by establishment rate, automatically
  adding flooding IP addresses to tables and flushing states

* Improved functionality of tags (tag and tagged for translation rules,
  tagging of all packets matching state entries).
* Improved diagnostics (error messages and additional counters from pfctl -si).

Packet Filter (from here on referred to as PF) is OpenBSD's system for
filtering TCP/IP traffic and doing Network Address Translation. PF is also
capable of normalizing and conditioning TCP/IP traffic.
PF was originally developed by Daniel Hartmeier and is now maintained and
developed by Daniel and the rest of the OpenBSD team.
This package includes a complete port (LKM and userland utilities) from
OpenBSD 3.7 to NetBSD 2.0.
