[NETFILTER]: Add nf_conntrack subsystem. The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written. In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3 protocol. The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6, which is also cured here. For example, these issues include: 1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP messages 2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag" (which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply isn't feasible in ipv6 3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking design 4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will fully kill it off 6 months later.

---help---
Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
into connections.
This is IPv4 support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config NF_CONNTRACK_PROC_COMPAT
bool "proc/sysctl compatibility with old connection tracking"
depends on NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS && NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4

help
This option enables /proc and sysctl compatibility with the old
layer 3 dependent connection tracking. This is needed to keep
old programs that have not been adapted to the new names working.
If unsure, say Y.
config IP_NF_QUEUE
tristate "IP Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"

help
Netfilter has the ability to queue packets to user space: the
netlink device can be used to access them using this driver.
This option enables the old IPv4-only "ip_queue" implementation
which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

iptables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
The packet filtering and full NAT (masquerading, port forwarding,
etc) subsystems now use this: say `Y' or `M' here if you want to use
either of those.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

netfilter: add ipv4 reverse path filter match This tries to do the same thing as fib_validate_source(), but differs in several aspects. The most important difference is that the reverse path filter built into fib_validate_source uses the oif as iif when performing the reverse lookup. We do not do this, as the oif is not yet known by the time the PREROUTING hook is invoked. We can't wait until FORWARD chain because by the time FORWARD is invoked ipv4 forward path may have already sent icmp messages is response to to-be-discarded-via-rpfilter packets. To avoid the such an additional lookup in PREROUTING, Patrick McHardy suggested to attach the path information directly in the match (i.e., just do what the standard ipv4 path does a bit earlier in PREROUTING). This works, but it also has a few caveats. Most importantly, when using marks in PREROUTING to re-route traffic based on the nfmark, -m rpfilter would have to be used after the nfmark has been set; otherwise the nfmark would have no effect (because the route is already attached). Another problem would be interaction with -j TPROXY, as this target sets an nfmark and uses ACCEPT instead of continue, i.e. such a version of -m rpfilter cannot be used for the initial to-be-intercepted packets. In case in turns out that the oif is required, we can add Patricks suggestion with a new match option (e.g. --rpf-use-oif) to keep ruleset compatibility. Another difference to current builtin ipv4 rpfilter is that packets subject to ipsec transformation are not automatically excluded. If you want this, simply combine -m rpfilter with the policy match. Packets arriving on loopback interfaces always match. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Acked-by: David S.

help
Packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of
rules for simple packet filtering at local input, forwarding and
local output. See the man page for iptables(8).
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_REJECT
tristate "REJECT target support"
depends on IP_NF_FILTER
default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
help
The REJECT target allows a filtering rule to specify that an ICMP
error should be issued in response to an incoming packet, rather
than silently being dropped.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
config IP_NF_TARGET_ULOG
tristate "ULOG target support"

---help---
This option enables the old IPv4-only "ipt_ULOG" implementation
which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_log" code (see
CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_LOG).
This option adds a `ULOG' target, which allows you to create rules in
any iptables table. The packet is passed to a userspace logging
daemon using netlink multicast sockets; unlike the LOG target
which can only be viewed through syslog.
The appropriate userspace logging daemon (ulogd) may be obtained from
<http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html>

The IPv4 NAT option allows masquerading, port forwarding and other
forms of full Network Address Port Translation. It is controlled by
the `nat' table in iptables: see the man page for iptables(8).

help
Masquerading is a special case of NAT: all outgoing connections are
changed to seem to come from a particular interface's address, and
if the interface goes down, those connections are lost. This is
only useful for dialup accounts with dynamic IP address (ie. your IP
address will be different on next dialup).

config IP_NF_TARGET_REDIRECT
tristate "REDIRECT target support"
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
useful for transparent proxies.

This module implements an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for
SNMP payloads. In conjunction with NAT, it allows a network
management system to access multiple private networks with
conflicting addresses. It works by modifying IP addresses
inside SNMP payloads to match IP-layer NAT mapping.
This is the "basic" form of SNMP-ALG, as described in RFC 2962

This option adds a `ECN' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
table.
You can use this target to remove the ECN bits from the IPv4 header of
an IP packet. This is particularly useful, if you need to work around
existing ECN blackholes on the internet, but don't want to disable
ECN support in general.
