The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive. It also adds the "TOS" target, which allows you to create rules in the "mangle" table which alter the Type Of Service field of an IPv4 or the Priority field of an IPv6 packet, prior to routing. To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_HL tristate '"HL" hoplimit target support' depends on IP_NF_MANGLE || IP6_NF_MANGLE depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds the "HL" (for IPv6) and "TTL" (for IPv4) targets, which enable the user to change the hoplimit/time-to-live value of the IP header. While it is safe to decrement the hoplimit/TTL value, the modules also allow to increment and set the hoplimit value of the header to arbitrary values.

If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_IDLETIMER tristate "IDLETIMER target support" depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.

If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LED tristate '"LED" target support' depends on LEDS_CLASS && LEDS_TRIGGERS depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds a `LED' target, which allows you to blink LEDs in response to particular packets passing through your machine. This can be used to turn a spare LED into a network activity LED, which only flashes in response to FTP transfers, for example. Or you could have an LED which lights up for a minute or two every time somebody connects to your machine via SSH. You will need support for the "led" class to make this work. To create an LED trigger for incoming SSH traffic: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j LED --led-trigger-id ssh --led-delay 1000 Then attach the new trigger to an LED on your system: echo netfilter-ssh > /sys/class/leds//trigger For more information on the LEDs available on your system, see Documentation/leds/leds-class.rst config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_LOG tristate "LOG target support" select NF_LOG_SYSLOG select NF_LOG_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n help This option adds a `LOG' target, which allows you to create rules in any iptables table which records the packet header to the syslog.

If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TRACE tristate '"TRACE" target support' depends on IP_NF_RAW || IP6_NF_RAW depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help The TRACE target allows you to mark packets so that the kernel will log every rule which match the packets as those traverse the tables, chains, rules. If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read . If unsure, say `N'. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_SECMARK tristate '"SECMARK" target support' depends on NETWORK_SECMARK default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n help The SECMARK target allows security marking of network packets, for use with security subsystems. To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS tristate '"TCPMSS" target support' depends on IPV6 || IPV6=n default m if NETFILTER_ADVANCED=n help This option adds a `TCPMSS' target, which allows you to alter the MSS value of TCP SYN packets, to control the maximum size for that connection (usually limiting it to your outgoing interface's MTU minus 40). This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this problem are that everything works fine from your Linux firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large packets: 1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received. 2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang. 3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking. Workaround: activate this option and add a rule to your firewall configuration like: iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN \ -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu To compile it as a module, choose M here.

The DSCP field can have any value between 0x0 and 0x3f inclusive. It will also add a "tos" match, which allows you to match packets based on the Type Of Service fields of the IPv4 packet (which share the same bits as DSCP). To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N. config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_ECN tristate '"ecn" match support' depends on NETFILTER_ADVANCED help This option adds an "ECN" match, which allows you to match against the IPv4 and TCP header ECN fields.
