This daemon maintains a copy of the Connection Tracking System in userspace. It is entirely written in C and is highly configurable and easily extensible. Currently it covers the specific aspects of Stateful Linux firewalls to enable high availability solutions and can be used as statistics collector of the firewall use. Status: This project is under development, people feeling brave are encouraged to test a send nice reports ;) Future Plans: - Support for TCP window tracking (still on discussion) - Improve integration with keepalived (preemption issues) - Test yet implemented IPv6 code - Merge the conntrack tool and conntrackd packages: the conntrack tool will be able to dump the conntrack table not only from the kernel but also from conntrackd via UNIX sockets that, for example, can be used to implement wildcards to dump and delete entries and monitor the current traffic processed reducing the performance drop that suppose polling from /proc/net/ip_conntrack - Improve statistics info More information available at: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/conntrackd/ Enjoy, -- The dawn of the fourth age of Linux firewalling is coming; a time of great struggle and heroic deeds -- J.Kadlecsik got inspired by J.Morris
