# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| iptables: iptables (IP packet filter administration) iptables: iptables: Iptables can be used to build internet firewalls based on stateless iptables: and stateful packet filtering, use NAT and masquerading for sharing iptables: internet access if you don't have enough public IP addresses, use NAT iptables: to implement transparent proxies, aid the tc and iproute2 systems iptables: used to build sophisticated QoS and policy routers, do further packet iptables: manipulation (mangling) like altering the TOS/DSCP/ECN bits of the IP iptables: header, and much more. iptables: iptables: Homepage: http://www.netfilter.org/projects/iptables/
