Whoa!! Back up the truck! : > Check for the Kernel Packet Traveling Diagram at: : > http://www.docum.org/stef.coene/qos/kptd/ : : Please note that this diagram is not valid for iptables.
I think I disagree. : When using iptables, packets that are "traversing" the linux box : (forwarded trafic) do not go thru the INPUT and OUTPUT chains. The KPTD hosted on docum.org certainly does accurately reflect the traversal of iptables. Please send corrections if you find something wrong with the KPTD. This was a collective effort by Leonardo Balliache, Stef Coene, and some others on this very list. It doesn't depict the relationship between iptables and bridging, but that is a well-known exception to this diagram. : You'll find an iptable packet traversal diagram at : : http://www.knowplace.org/netfilter/packet_traversal.gif This is a fine picture, too, though, Ron. -Martin -- Martin A.
