tristate "Netfilter nf_tables support"
+ help
+ nftables is the new packet classification framework that intends to
+ replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}_tables infrastructure. It
+ provides a pseudo-state machine with an extensible instruction-set
+ (also known as expressions) that the userspace 'nft' utility
+ (http://www.netfilter.org/projects/nftables) uses to build the
+ rule-set. It also comes with the generic set infrastructure that
+ allows you to construct mappings between matchings and actions
+ for performance lookups.
+
+ To compile it as a module, choose M here.
