Subject: [PATCH mptcp-next 0/2] selftests: mptcp: convert iptables to nftables
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2026 14:52:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-mptcp_nft-v1-0-559caa16f410@kylinos.cn> (raw)

iptables has been deprecated for years. The Linux kernel has included
nftables as the successor to iptables since 2014, and every major
distribution uses nftables as the default packet filtering framework.
The iptables command we run on modern systems is actually iptables‑nft,
a compatibility layer that translates iptables syntax to nftables rules
behind the scenes.

There are also some features that can be set easily with nft, while we need
to convert to BPF code under iptables, such as MPTCP add‑addr and
remove‑addr suboptions. To make future work easier, convert iptables usage
in mptcp to nftables.
