The Handbook states:
"...please keep in mind that different versions of FreeBSD contain different versions of PF:
FreeBSD 5.X -- PF is at OpenBSD 3.5
FreeBSD 6.X -- PF is at OpenBSD 3.7
FreeBSD 7.X -- PF is at OpenBSD 4.1
..."
As I was everything else than happy with the firewall performance (about 1,6GBit/sec throughput with 1500 bytes packets on an 8-core machine) when I tried pf on FreeBSD 7.2, I'm highly interested whats new in FreeBSD 8.0.
I found this in the announcement for OpenBSD 4.2 announcement: "... Various improvements in pf increase performance drastically, stateful passing more than twice as fast than before..."
How can I determine the pf-version which comes with FreeBSD 8.0?
