Do you mean this : "this can be used to block traffic" ?
It can be used to block traffic, but does not block traffic by itself.
Subsequent packets of a deleted TCP connection will just be in the
INVALID state, it is up to the iptables ruleset to drop such packets if
this is what you want.

What do you want to achieve exactly ? Drop/reject subsequent packets ?
Then see above, you need iptables. Or actively close the connection ?
Then you need a tool such as cutter.
