838 tristate '"DSCP" and "TOS" target support'
839 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
840 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
842 This option adds a `DSCP' target, which allows you to manipulate
843 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
845 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
847 It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in
848 the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4
849 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing.
851 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
853 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL
854 tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support'
855 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
856 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
858 This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4)
859 targets, which enable the user to change the
860 hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header.
862 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the
863 modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of
864 the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
865 since you can easily create immortal packets that loop
866 forever on the network.
868 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HMARK
869 tristate '"HMARK" target support'
870 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n
871 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
873 This option adds the "HMARK" target.
875 The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
876 which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
877 range. The nfmark can influence the routing method and can also be used
878 by other subsystems to change their behaviour.

882 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
883 tristate "IDLETIMER target support"
884 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
887 This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
888 resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
889 added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
890 The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
892 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
894 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED
895 tristate '"LED" target support'

897 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
899 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
900 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
902 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
903 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
904 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
905 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
907 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
909 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
910 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
912 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
913 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
915 For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
916 Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt

996 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_REDIRECT
997 tristate "REDIRECT target support"
999 select NF_NAT_REDIRECT
1001 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
1002 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
1003 come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
1004 useful for transparent proxies.

1028 select NF_TPROXY_IPV4
1029 select NF_TPROXY_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1031 This option adds a `TPROXY' target, which is somewhat similar to
1032 REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful
1033 to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
1034 on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.
1035 For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
1036 and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up
1037 see Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt.

1498 This match is used for creating one or many lists of recently
1499 used addresses and then matching against that/those list(s).
1501 Short options are available by using 'iptables -m recent -h'
1502 Official Website: <http://snowman.net/projects/ipt_recent/>
1504 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SCTP
1505 tristate '"sctp" protocol match support'
1506 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1509 With this option enabled, you will be able to use the
1510 `sctp' match in order to match on SCTP source/destination ports
1511 and SCTP chunk types.
1513 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
1514 <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
1516 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET
1517 tristate '"socket" match support'
1518 depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
1519 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1520 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n
1521 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n
1522 select NF_SOCKET_IPV4
1523 select NF_SOCKET_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1524 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV4
1525 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES != n
1527 This option adds a `socket' match, which can be used to match
1528 packets for which a TCP or UDP socket lookup finds a valid socket.
1529 It can be used in combination with the MARK target and policy
1530 routing to implement full featured non-locally bound sockets.
1532 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1534 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE
1535 tristate '"state" match support'
1536 depends on NF_CONNTRACK
1537 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
1539 Connection state matching allows you to match packets based on their
1540 relationship to a tracked connection (ie. previous packets). This
1541 is a powerful tool for packet classification.
1543 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1545 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATISTIC
1546 tristate '"statistic" match support'
1547 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1549 This option adds a `statistic' match, which allows you to match
1550 on packets periodically or randomly with a given percentage.
1552 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1554 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STRING
1555 tristate '"string" match support'
1556 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1558 select TEXTSEARCH_KMP
1559 select TEXTSEARCH_BM
1560 select TEXTSEARCH_FSM
1562 This option adds a `string' match, which allows you to look for
1563 pattern matchings in packets.
1565 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1567 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS
1568 tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
1569 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1571 This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
1572 MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
1573 for that connection.
1575 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1577 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
1578 tristate '"time" match support'
1579 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1581 This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
1582 the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
1583 on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
1585 If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for
1588 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here.
1591 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
1592 tristate '"u32" match support'
1593 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1595 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1596 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1597 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1598 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1599 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
