834 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_DSCP
835 tristate '"DSCP" and "TOS" target support'
836 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
837 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
839 This option adds a `DSCP' target, which allows you to manipulate
840 the IPv4/IPv6 header DSCP field (differentiated services codepoint).
842 The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive.
844 It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in
845 the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4
846 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing.
848 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
850 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL
851 tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support'
852 depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE
853 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
855 This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4)
856 targets, which enable the user to change the
857 hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header.
859 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the
860 modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of
861 the header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
862 since you can easily create immortal packets that loop
863 forever on the network.
865 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HMARK
866 tristate '"HMARK" target support'
867 depends on IP6_NF_IPTABLES || IP6_NF_IPTABLES=n
868 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
870 This option adds the "HMARK" target.
872 The target allows you to create rules in the "raw" and "mangle" tables
873 which set the skbuff mark by means of hash calculation within a given
874 range. The nfmark can influence the routing method and can also be used
875 by other subsystems to change their behaviour.
877 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
879 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER
880 tristate "IDLETIMER target support"
881 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
884 This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
885 resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
886 added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
887 The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
889 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
891 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED
892 tristate '"LED" target support'
893 depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS
894 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
896 This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in
897 response to particular packets passing through your machine.
899 This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED,
900 which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or
901 you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time
902 somebody connects to your machine via SSH.
904 You will need support for the "led" class to make this work.
906 To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic:
907 iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000
909 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system:
910 echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds/<ledname>/trigger
912 For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see
913 Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt

993 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_REDIRECT
994 tristate "REDIRECT target support"
996 select NF_NAT_REDIRECT
998 REDIRECT is a special case of NAT: all incoming connections are
999 mapped onto the incoming interface's address, causing the packets to
1000 come to the local machine instead of passing through. This is
1001 useful for transparent proxies.
1003 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

1025 select NF_TPROXY_IPV4
1026 select NF_TPROXY_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1028 This option adds a `TPROXY' target, which is somewhat similar to
1029 REDIRECT. It can only be used in the mangle table and is useful
1030 to redirect traffic to a transparent proxy. It does _not_ depend
1031 on Netfilter connection tracking and NAT, unlike REDIRECT.
1032 For it to work you will have to configure certain iptables rules
1033 and use policy routing. For more information on how to set it up
1034 see Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt.
1036 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1038 config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TRACE

1496 used addresses and then matching against that/those list(s).
1498 Short options are available by using 'iptables -m recent -h'

1501 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SCTP
1502 tristate '"sctp" protocol match support'
1503 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1506 With this option enabled, you will be able to use the
1507 `sctp' match in order to match on SCTP source/destination ports
1508 and SCTP chunk types.
1510 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read
1511 <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>. If unsure, say `N'.
1513 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_SOCKET
1514 tristate '"socket" match support'
1515 depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
1516 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1517 depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n

1520 select NF_SOCKET_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES
1521 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV4
1522 select NF_DEFRAG_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES != n
1524 This option adds a `socket' match, which can be used to match
1525 packets for which a TCP or UDP socket lookup finds a valid socket.
1526 It can be used in combination with the MARK target and policy
1527 routing to implement full featured non-locally bound sockets.
1529 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1531 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE
1532 tristate '"state" match support'
1533 depends on NF_CONNTRACK
1534 default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n
1536 Connection state matching allows you to match packets based on their
1537 relationship to a tracked connection (ie. previous packets). This
1538 is a powerful tool for packet classification.
1540 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1542 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATISTIC
1543 tristate '"statistic" match support'
1544 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1546 This option adds a `statistic' match, which allows you to match
1547 on packets periodically or randomly with a given percentage.
1549 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1551 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STRING
1552 tristate '"string" match support'
1553 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1555 select TEXTSEARCH_KMP
1556 select TEXTSEARCH_BM
1557 select TEXTSEARCH_FSM
1559 This option adds a `string' match, which allows you to look for
1560 pattern matchings in packets.
1562 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1564 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TCPMSS
1565 tristate '"tcpmss" match support'
1566 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1568 This option adds a `tcpmss' match, which allows you to examine the
1569 MSS value of TCP SYN packets, which control the maximum packet size
1570 for that connection.
1572 To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
1574 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_TIME
1575 tristate '"time" match support'
1576 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1578 This option adds a "time" match, which allows you to match based on
1579 the packet arrival time (at the machine which netfilter is running)
1580 on) or departure time/date (for locally generated packets).
1582 If you say Y here, try `iptables -m time --help` for
1585 If you want to compile it as a module, say M here.
1588 config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_U32
1589 tristate '"u32" match support'
1590 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
1592 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1593 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1594 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1595 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1596 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
