Currently I wrote a patch for the pyroute2 python library (to control netlink using Python) whith checks of kernel version for using filtering in kernel or userspace.

I would like to submit a patch for the libnetfilter_conntrack if you think that it is useful, but i didn't have a look on it yet.

About compatibility, currently the only way is to check with the kernel version, but I can add something like NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED in the netlink reply. What would be the best way for you?

Best regards,
