| 39 | This option makes it possible to send different netlink messages |
| 40 | to tasks depending on whether the task is a compat task or not. To |
| 41 | achieve this, you need to set skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list to the |

Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 114 | ---help--- |
| 115 | Netfilter is a framework for filtering and mangling network packets |
| 116 | that pass through your Linux box. |
| 117 | |
| 118 | The most common use of packet filtering is to run your Linux box as |
| 119 | a firewall protecting a local network from the Internet. The type of |
| 120 | firewall provided by this kernel support is called a "packet |
| 121 | filter", which means that it can reject individual network packets |
| 122 | based on type, source, destination etc. The other kind of firewall, |
| 123 | a "proxy-based" one, is more secure but more intrusive and more |
| 124 | bothersome to set up; it inspects the network traffic much more |
| 125 | closely, modifies it and has knowledge about the higher level |
| 126 | protocols, which a packet filter lacks. Moreover, proxy-based |
| 127 | firewalls often require changes to the programs running on the local |
| 128 | clients. Proxy-based firewalls don't need support by the kernel, but |
| 129 | they are often combined with a packet filter, which only works if |
| 130 | you say Y here. |
| 131 | |
| 132 | You should also say Y here if you intend to use your Linux box as |
| 133 | the gateway to the Internet for a local network of machines without |
| 134 | globally valid IP addresses. This is called "masquerading": if one |
| 135 | of the computers on your local network wants to send something to |
| 136 | the outside, your box can "masquerade" as that computer, i.e. it |
| 137 | forwards the traffic to the intended outside destination, but |
| 138 | modifies the packets to make it look like they came from the |
| 139 | firewall box itself. It works both ways: if the outside host |
| 140 | replies, the Linux box will silently forward the traffic to the |
| 141 | correct local computer. This way, the computers on your local net |
| 142 | are completely invisible to the outside world, even though they can |
| 143 | reach the outside and can receive replies. It is even possible to |
| 144 | run globally visible servers from within a masqueraded local network |
| 145 | using a mechanism called portforwarding. Masquerading is also often |
| 146 | called NAT (Network Address Translation). |
| 147 | |
| 148 | Another use of Netfilter is in transparent proxying: if a machine on |
| 149 | the local network tries to connect to an outside host, your Linux |
| 150 | box can transparently forward the traffic to a local server, |
| 151 | typically a caching proxy server. |
| 152 | |
| 153 | Yet another use of Netfilter is building a bridging firewall. Using |
| 154 | a bridge with Network packet filtering enabled makes iptables "see" |
| 155 | the bridged traffic. For filtering on the lower network and Ethernet |
| 156 | protocols over the bridge, use ebtables (under bridge netfilter |
| 157 | configuration). |
| 158 | |
| 159 | Various modules exist for netfilter which replace the previous |
| 160 | masquerading (ipmasqadm), packet filtering (ipchains), transparent |
| 161 | proxying, and portforwarding mechanisms. Please see |
| 162 | <file:Documentation/Changes> under "iptables" for the location of |
| 163 | these packages. |

| 302 | The network stack has to drop packets when a receive processing CPU's |
