It depends on wheter you want to focus on kernel or userspace, and on what area you'd like to work on. nftables is currently under active development; f.e. you could add one of the missing iptables extensions such as hashlimit or nfacct. At least for hashlimit I suspect that an nftables equivalent should not 'copy' hashlimit to nftables but instead take advantage of nftables' architecture by e.g. using register(s) as input (as compared to the packet). Would avoid avoid adding all the hashlimit-mode/src-mask options from the iptables match in the nft version, and it would be more flexible because the data extraction/compaction would be in userspace. Alternatively, you could look at the open bug reports/feature wishlist items: http://bugzilla.netfilter.org/buglist.cgi?product=nftables&component=nft&resolution=--- > * Is there any bug tracking done outside of the mailing list?
