Hi all, I am rather new to netfilter , but during couple of months I gained some experience writing both netfilter and iptables extensions. Threre is very conceivable reasonal link between hooks in TCP/IP stack and chains. But I should confess I do not understand what for the tables were invented. Is there any code that in match or target function code paths that takes data from table structures ? For example I asked in my previous post (see quoted below) why some target which just create some structure for internal use must be associated with nat table ? Why not mangle table ? I understand that the list may had already discussed the issue, I will be glad for references. >POST :Why Port trigger of DD-WRT requires nat table to store trigger ? >The last command inserts rule into nat table, and the trigger >implementation code gives an error if a mangle table is used instead. >The question is why ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Israel (74) Limited This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
