The new API includes documentation and overcomes (or at least tries to) the existing limitations. The patch is available here (~80Kbytes): http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/libnetfilter_conntrack/api.patch Together with this patch comes another patch for libnfnetlink to introduce some new API: http://people.netfilter.org/pablo/libnfnetlink/libnfnetlink.patch The use of the new API is strongly recommended since we plan to remove the obsolete API sooner or later, anyway we'll warn everyone several times before doing so. I'm also planning to port the remaining libraries (libnetfilter_queue/log) to the new API. -- 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
