370 This option adds the "MARK" target and "mark" match.
371
372 Netfilter mark matching allows you to match packets based on the
373 "nfmark" value in the packet.
374 The target allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter
375 the netfilter mark (nfmark) field associated with the packet.
376
377 Prior to routing, the nfmark can influence the routing method (see
378 "Use netfilter MARK value as routing key") and can also be used by
379 other subsystems to change their behavior.

714 network servers/stateful firewalls without having a dedicated
715 load-balancing router/server/switch. Basically, this match returns
716 true when the packet must be handled by this cluster node. Thus,
717 all nodes see all packets and this match decides which node handles
718 what packets. The work-load sharing algorithm is based on source
719 address hashing.

1053 With this option enabled, you will be able to use the
1054 `sctp' match in order to match on SCTP source/destination ports
1055 and SCTP chunk types.

1070 This option adds a `socket' match, which can be used to match
1071 packets for which a TCP or UDP socket lookup finds a valid socket.
1072 It can be used in combination with the MARK target and policy
1073 routing to implement full featured non-locally bound sockets.

1082 Connection state matching allows you to match packets based on their
1083 relationship to a tracked connection (ie. previous packets). This
1084 is a powerful tool for packet classification.

1138 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1139 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1140 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1141 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1142 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
1143 lengths.
