Summary: Tools for managing Linux kernel packet filtering capabilities

Description: 

Iptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IP
packet filter rules in the Linux kernel.  Several different tables may
be defined.  Each table contains a number of built-in chains and may
also contain user-defined chains.

Each chain is a list of rules which can match a set of packets.  Each rule
specifies what to do with a packet that matches.  This is called a
`target', which may be a jump to a user-defined chain in the same table.
