Doubt on Iptables protocol extension

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I was reading difference between iptables and nftables and why
nftables are better.
I came across this statement "The user space tools simply generate the
bytecode and pass it to the kernel for execution allowing new
protocols to be supported without kernel changes.". I wanted to know,
example of any protocol (which would have to be compiled as separate
kernel module in case of iptables) that nftables solves without
compiling kernel modules.

Thanks
