Usagi IPv6 Conntrack

Usagi IPv6 Conntrack

Hi

I remember seeing some email before about ipv6 conntracking, is sombody
looking into bring this across into netfilter or the kernel (sorry not
sure of the path it would normally take either usagi -> netfilter ->
kernel or usagi -> kernel).

Does any one have a set of patches or a procedure to merge in the usagi
net/ipv6/netfiler stuff.  

Can I just replace the one in my kernel tree (using a debian base) with
the usagi directory ?

Thanks
Alex

You can get the latest snapshot of usagi 2.6 kernel and tools which support
ip6_conntrack from

	ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/snap/kit/

usagi 2.4 kernel does not support ip6_conntrack.

There is kernel configuration about ip6_conntrack in "IPv6: Netfilter
Configuration". If you also want to use IPv6 connection state matching,
you can use ip6tables in usagi-tools. Usage of it is same as IPv4 connection
state matching.

Just for reference, you can get nf_conntrack which generalizes ip_conntrack and
ip6_conntrack from the message from me at 01 Jul 2004 in this ml. This is not
in usagi kernel yet.
