Description:
Linux 2.4 provides a sophisticated infrastructure, called netfilter, which is the basis for packet filtering, network address translation and packet mangling. The whole firewalling implementation has been rewritten from scratch. Netfilter is a clean, abstract and well-defined interface to the network stack. It is easily extendable due to its modular concept.
