AIX introduced packet filtering as well as IPSEC in 4.3 (optional
LPP though), and the Austin AIX people were never not too happy with
the Raleigh firewall on top anyway.  So one can build systems with a
"normal" AIX OS and OSS tools, a reasonable knowledge in both
assumed.

Do you know if they made a generic programming interface when doing
that?  I get requests every now and then for "IPFilter on AIX" but
I'm pretty sure it's networking pedigree is BSD and without some sort
of interface, making it happen would require source.
