IPTables connection limitiing rule meaning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



11/1

Hello,

I have a rule in my output chain as follows:

iptables -A OUTPUT -o <external-IF> -m limit --limit
15/minute --limit-burst 10 -j LOG --log-prefix
"GW->Intet: "

1. Would this rule LOG packets as long as the rule is
matched?

2. If the limit is reached (15/min) would the packets
stop going to the next rule in the chain? 

3. Supposing I have this rule after the above rule 

iptables -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT

Would this over-ride the above rule applicable for the
external interface?

Thank You.
Menon
