The article can be of interest of developers and sysadmin. It provides a panoramic view about netfilter's connection tracking system. It is available at my people.netfilter.org place [3]. I hope that can be useful for the community. Acknowledgements goes to Rik Farrow for considering this stuff of interest as well as for his useful comments during the article review stage.
