Hans-G?nter@24435 1 The conntrack-tools are a set of tools targeted at system administrators.
Hans-G?nter@24435 2 They are conntrack, the userspace command line interface, and conntrackd,
Hans-G?nter@24435 3 the userspace daemon.
Hans-G?nter@24435 4 The tool conntrack provides a full featured interface that is intended
Hans-G?nter@24435 5 to replace the old /proc/net/ip_conntrack interface.
Hans-G?nter@24435 6 Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking
Hans-G?nter@24435 7 state table from userspace.
Hans-G?nter@24435 8 On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful
Hans-G?nter@24435 9 firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as
Hans-G?nter@24435 10 statistics collector as well.

Hans-G?nter@24435 12 Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the nfct command line utility.
Hans-G?nter@24435 13 This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now.
Hans-G?nter@24435 14 In the long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing
Hans-G?nter@24435 15 a syntax similar to nftables.
