# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| libiptc: libiptc (Extra headers and libraries of iptables) libiptc: libiptc: It enables programs to communicate with netfilter bypassing iptables libiptc: libiptc: Iptables can be used to build internet firewalls based on stateless libiptc: and stateful packet filtering, use NAT and masquerading for sharing libiptc: internet access if you don't have enough public IP addresses, use NAT libiptc: to implement transparent proxies, aid the tc and iproute2 systems libiptc: used to build sophisticated QoS and policy routers, do further packet libiptc: manipulation (mangling) like altering the TOS/DSCP/ECN bits of the IP libiptc: header, and much more.
