help
Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
into connections.
This is required to do Masquerading or other kinds of Network
Address Translation. It can also be used to enhance packet
filtering (see `Connection state match support' below).

of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or
have others initiate chats, or everything else in IRC.

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

This option adds the "MARK" target and "mark" match.
Netfilter mark matching allows you to match packets based on the
"nfmark" value in the packet.
The target allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter
the netfilter mark (nfmark) field associated with the packet.
Prior to routing, the nfmark can influence the routing method (see

other subsystems to change their behavior.

You can use this target to compute and fill in the checksum in
a packet that lacks a checksum. This is particularly useful,

The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in

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

This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is

The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED
tristate '"LED" target support'
depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS

This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
response to particular packets passing through your machine.
This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000

This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the
MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that
connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU
minus 40).
This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this
problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
packets:
1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received.
2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.
Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall

config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_POLICY
tristate 'IPsec "policy" match support'

tristate '"pkttype" packet type match support'
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED

config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QTAGUID
bool '"quota, tag, owner" match and stats support'
depends on NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET
depends on NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_OWNER=n
help
This option replaces the `owner' match. In addition to matching
on uid, it keeps stats based on a tag assigned to a socket.
The full tag is comprised of a UID and an accounting tag.
The tags are assignable to sockets from user space (e.g. a download
manager can assign the socket to another UID for accounting).
Stats and control are done via /proc/net/xt_qtaguid/.
It replaces owner as it takes the same arguments, but should
really be recognized by the iptables tool.
If unsure, say `N'.
config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA
tristate '"quota" match support'
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
This option adds a `quota' match, which allows to match on a

config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA2
tristate '"quota2" match support'

depends on NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_QUOTA2
depends on IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG=n # not yes, not module, just no

help
This option allows `quota2' to log ONCE when a quota limit
is passed. It logs via NETLINK using the NETLINK_NFLOG family.
It logs similarly to how ipt_ULOG would without data.
If unsure, say `N'.
config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_RATEEST
tristate '"rateest" match support'

config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS
tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
for that connection.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
tristate '"time" match support'
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
---help---
This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for
more information.
If you want to compile it as a module, say M here.
If unsure, say N.
config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
tristate '"u32" match support'
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
---help---
u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
lengths.
Details and examples are in the kernel module source.
