Subject: Doubt on Iptables protocol extension
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 19:20:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABTgHButSdTAUEh0j7YApZKB9MddnGHvKT-Bn35DwxrduHzo-Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I was reading difference between iptables and nftables and why
nftables are better.
I came across this statement "The user space tools simply generate the
bytecode and pass it to the kernel for execution allowing new
protocols to be supported without kernel changes.". I wanted to know,
example of any protocol (which would have to be compiled as separate
kernel module in case of iptables) that nftables solves without
compiling kernel modules.
Thanks
N Gadre
