     1.4 +The conntrack-tools are a set of tools targeted at system administrators.
     1.5 +They are conntrack, the userspace command line interface, and conntrackd,
     1.6 +the userspace daemon.
     1.7 +The tool conntrack provides a full featured interface that is intended
     1.8 +to replace the old /proc/net/ip_conntrack interface.
     1.9 +Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking
    1.10 +state table from userspace.
    1.11 +On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful
    1.12 +firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as
    1.13 +statistics collector as well.
    1.14 +
    1.15 +Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the nfct command line utility.
    1.16 +This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now.
    1.17 +In the long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing
    1.18 +a syntax similar to nftables.
