Hi all,
I mentioned some weeks ago that I wrote an article for :LOGIN; [1] the
magazine of USENIX [2], so here comes the official announce.
The article can be of interest of developers and sysadmin. It provides a
panoramic view about netfilter's connection tracking system. It is
available at my people.netfilter.org place [3]. I hope that can be
useful for the community.
Acknowledgements goes to Rik Farrow for considering this stuff of
interest as well as for his useful comments during the article review stage.
Please, have a look at the REPRINT note before reading the article.
Enjoy,
Pablo
