[talk] Note on IPFW

[jpb]

Hello NYCBuggers,

I'm in the process of writing a book on IPFW.  Since there are a lot of
technical folks on this list, I was wondering if some of you would be
open to reviewing a draft. It's currently about 90% done.

I would be grateful for any criticism - good or bad.  I would also
welcome suggestions on how to improve the book - new sections, more
emphasis on this or that part, more (or less) detail, etc.

The book is written with the FDP toolkit, and there are a couple of
glitches with the tooling I'm still working out.  In particular,
Appendix A refuses to  budge from up front in the text, but these are
issues I can solve later.  Also, some of my draft markers (@@@) are
still waiting for me to fix various bits.

Anyway, the draft is here:
https://www.jimby.name/fbsd/ipfw/en/books/ipfw-primer/ipfw-introduction/

I'm also contacting PHK and Andrey Elsukov with a similar request.  If
you know of anyone else who might be interested in reviewing the text,
please let me know.


Thanks and Best Regards,
Jim Brown
