Hi,
To test my Python binding, I tried to dump conntrack table for IPv6 protocol
but I just get the error "Address family not supported by protocol".
I tried old libnetfilter_conntrack API and I don't get error. But I can't see
my connections (whereas "netstat --protocol inet6" lists them).
Do I need a kernel newer than 2.6.17? Or netfilter conntrack doesn't support
IPv6?
For my tests, I used a ssh connection to ipv6-localhost ("ssh ::1").

It does if you use CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK (nf_conntrack module) and
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV6 (nf_conntrack_ipv6); it does NOT if you use
CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK (IPv4-only). Stock kernels use the latter
because they need IPv4 NAT support which is not provided by
nf_conntrack before kernel version 2.6.20.
