Re: Connectiontracking of IPv6 on modified Fritzbox

Hello,

wlet@xxxxxxx a écrit :

I'm using the last svn snapshot which contains IPv6 support via
sixxs.net. The kernel running on this box is "2.6.13.1-ohio" (MIPS).

I want to use ip6tables to restrict the v6 traffic, but there is no
possibility to do a connection tracking/stateful filtering.

The new netfilter conntrack aka 'nf_conntrack' supporting IPv6 connection tracking was added in the mainline kernel version 2.6.15. However it lacked IPv4 NAT support (and support for "complex" protocols except FTP) until version 2.6.20, so meanwhile you had to choose between IPv6 connection tracking provided by 'nf_conntrack' and IPv4 NAT provided by the old IPv4-only conntrack aka 'ip_conntrack'.

For kernel versions earlier that 2.6.15, an 'nf_conntrack' patchlet was available in the patch-o-matic-ng until patch-o-matic-ng-20050918. However it probably had a number of bugs which were corrected after being merged in the mainline kernel.

x_tables are also not availible.

x_tables was added in the mainline kernel version 2.6.16. It is not related to nf_conntrack.
