Sorry if this is someplace else but can't find the answer. There are 8 default tables INPUT, OUTPUT, FORWARD, nat/PREROUTING, nat/OUTPUT, nat/POSTROUTING, mangle/PREROUTING, mangle/OUTPUT. For a packet coming into an interface and going to leave another interface (not going to userspace), what tables does the packet traverse? Is it ethX -> mangle/PREROUTING -> nat/PREROUTING -> route process -> FORWARD -> nat/POSTROUTING ->ethZ? or are fewer items involved? What about for a packet going into userspace is it ethX -> mangle/PREROUTING -> nat/PREROUTING -> route process -> INPUT -> userspace ?
What about for a packet going from userspace - userspace -> OUTPUT -> mangle/OUTPUT -> nat/POSTROUTING ->ethZ? Thanks for the clarification in advance. Jay Brown __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo! Music Experience http://launch.yahoo.com
