13 Connection tracking keeps a record of what packets have passed
14 through your machine, in order to figure out how they are related
15 into connections.
16
17 This is IPv6 support on Layer 3 independent connection tracking.
18 Layer 3 independent connection tracking is experimental scheme
19 which generalize ip_conntrack to support other layer 3 protocols.

28
29 This option adds a queue handler to the kernel for IPv6
30 packets which enables users to receive the filtered packets
31 with QUEUE target using libipq.
32
33 This option enables the old IPv6-only "ip6_queue" implementation
34 which has been obsoleted by the new "nfnetlink_queue" code (see
35 CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE).

51 ip6tables is a general, extensible packet identification framework.
52 Currently only the packet filtering and packet mangling subsystem
53 for IPv6 use this, but connection tracking is going to follow.
54 Say 'Y' or 'M' here if you want to use either of those.

176 This option adds a `mangle' table to iptables: see the man page for

185 depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED
186 help
187 This option adds a `HL' target, which enables the user to decrement
188 the hoplimit value of the IPv6 header or set it to a given (lower)
189 value.
190
191 While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit value, this option also
192 enables functionality to increment and set the hoplimit value of the
193 IPv6 header to arbitrary values. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS since
194 you can easily create immortal packets that loop forever on the
195 network.

205 first in the netfilter framework and hooks in at the PREROUTING
206 and OUTPUT chains.
