39 Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
40 through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
43 This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
44 Address Translation. It can also be used to enhance packet

51 config NF_CONNTRACK_MARK
52 bool 'Connection mark tracking support'
53 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
55 This option enables support for connection marks, used by the
56 `CONNMARK' target and `connmark' match. Similar to the mark value
57 of packets, but this mark value is kept in the conntrack session
58 instead of the individual packets.

65 This option enables security markings to be applied to

69 being originally labeled via SECMARK.

81 connections using the same identity, as long as they are
82 contained in different zones.
86 config NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS

184 of Network Address Translation on them.
186 This is FTP support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.

216 There is a commonly-used extension to IRC called
217 Direct Client-to-Client Protocol (DCC). This enables users to send
218 files to each other, and also chat to each other without the need
219 of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
220 and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
221 using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
222 chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
223 have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.

237 tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
238 originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
239 responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
240 netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output

442 Netfilter mark matching allows you to match packets based on the
443 "nfmark" value in the packet.
444 The target allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter
445 the netfilter mark (nfmark) field associated with the packet.
447 Prior to routing, the nfmark can influence the routing method (see
448 "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key") and can also be used by
449 other subsystems to change their behavior.

457 This option adds the "CONNMARK" target and "connmark" match.
459 Netfilter allows you to store a mark value per connection (a.k.a.
460 ctmark), similarly to the packet mark (nfmark). Using this
461 target and match, you can set and match on this mark.

494 This option adds a `CHECKSUM' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
497 You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in
498 a packet that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful,
499 if you need to work around old applications such as dhcp clients,
500 that do not work well with checksum offloads, but don't want to disable

557 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
559 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
561 It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in
562 the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4
563 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing.
565 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

572 This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4)
573 targets, which enable the user to change the
574 hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header.
576 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the
577 modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of
578 the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
579 since you can easily create immortal packets that loop
580 forever on the network.

589 The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
590 which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
591 range. The nfmark can influence the routing method (see "Use netfilter
592 MARK value as routing key") and can also be used by other subsystems to
593 change their behaviour.

597 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
598 tristate "IDLETIMER target support"
599 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
602 This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
603 resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
604 added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
605 The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
607 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
609 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED
610 tristate '"LED" target support'
611 depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS
612 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
614 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
615 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
617 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
618 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
619 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
620 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
622 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
624 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
625 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
627 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
628 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger

697 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
698 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
