It's important to understand, when people talk about cgroups, they do mean not only CPU/memory limits, but also network and disk I/O limits, that freebsd doesn't offer out of the box.

The firewall can match on the jail id for local sockets and apply traffic shaping based on these matches. Hierarchical resource limits on CPU/disk/memory/... can be configured per jail.
