Basically, this project provides a new packet filtering framework, a +new userspace utility and also a compatibility layer for {ip,ip6}tables. +nftables is built upon the building blocks of the Netfilter infrastructure such +as the existing hooks, the connection tracking system, the userspace queueing +component and the logging subsystem. + +In order to use nft, you need a Linux kernel >= 3.14 with nftables configured. + +nftables is currently under development, so for experimenters only! |
