Not quite; ports are also possible with -m ipvs and -m conntrack, which do not require -p tcp/udp. If someone speicifies a numeric port to getaddrinfo, I just want the thing encoded in struct sockaddr_XX.sXX_port - it does not need to know the particular L4 proto, or the service's text-based name to do that - which is most likely why glibc allows it. I would like to have an opinion on that from Âclibc preferably.. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
