What comes after ‘iptables’? It’s successor, of course: `nftables` (RH blog) The Red Hat Developers Blog is running an introduction to the nftables packet filtering system. "nftables implements a set of instructions, called expressions, which can exchange data by storing or loading it in a number of registers. In other words, the nftables core can be seen as a virtual machine. Applications like the nftables front end-tool nft can use the expressions offered by the kernel to mimic the old iptables matches while gaining more flexibility." |
