Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related

of a server. DCC Sending is used anywhere you send files over IRC,
and DCC Chat is most commonly used by Eggdrop bots. If you are
using NAT, this extension will enable you to send files and initiate
chats. Note that you do NOT need this extension to get files or

tracking doesn't deal with broadcasts. This helper tracks locally
originating NetBIOS name service requests and the corresponding
responses. It relies on correct IP address configuration, specifically
netmask and broadcast address. When properly configured, the output
of "ip address show" should look similar to this:

config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED
tristate '"LED" target support'
depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS
depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
help
This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
response to particular packets passing through your machine.
This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds//trigger

REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful
to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.

help
This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the
MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that
connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU
minus 40).
This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which
block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this
problem are that everything works fine from your Linux
firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large
packets:
1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received.
2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.
Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall
configuration like:
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \
-j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu

help
This option allows you to build work-load-sharing clusters of
network servers/stateful firewalls without having a dedicated
load-balancing router/server/switch. Basically, this match returns
true when the packet must be handled by this cluster node. Thus,
all nodes see all packets and this match decides which node handles
what packets. The work-load sharing algorithm is based on source
address hashing.
