1Author: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu> 2Status: Testing. 3 4This patch adds a new table called 'raw' with a new target 5called 'TRACE' to netfilter/iptables (plus some modifications). 6 7The raw table is the very first in netfilter and uses the 8PREROUTING and OUTPUT built-in chains. 9 10The TRACE target can be used to trace how the packet "flows trough" 11your tables and rules. When a packet marked with the TRACE target 12matches any rule, the system logs the packet with the following 13prefix: 14 15 TRACE: tablename/chainname/rulenum packet 16 17The internal logging functionality relies on the available 18"backend" logging module (ip6t_LOG). You must load the logging 19module in, otherwise no log will be generated. 20
