>>>>>>>>>udp doesn't go into the established state. I am running "igmpproxy" on my gateway box . I didnot add any rule in INPUT chain to accept igmp packets . But i hve a rule to accept all ESTABLISHED state packets . It am able to stream igmp from my desktop . I really believe that " We dont need any rule in FORWARD chain " . Because packets are flowing from node to node and routed . So only INPUT and OUTPUT chains are involved .
