Hi netfilter team, Why are all conntrack related fields converted from host to network byte order by kernel before sending it to userspace over netlink and again from network to host by conntrack tools ( even though most fields are not related to network)? I am referring to packet exchange during commands e.g. conntrack -L etc. Is there any good reason for these conversions? I was assuming that the kernel will send all non network related fields in host byte order but that is not the case here. Vimal
