In my own opinion (things that could be done to improve that documentation: 1. Navigation seems a little cluttered. I think it would be better to just have a link to documentation on the first page and then a link on every subsequent page to page x + 1. 2. On the main page it would be nice to have a description of why libnetfilter_queue is better than libipq 3. The page needs to be easier to find. Why is there not a link to it on the netfilter site? 4. You don't specify the compile time commands that must be used with libnet filter -lnfnetlink -lnetfilter_queue 5. The example code you give includes a callback function. Can you write a libnetfilter_queue program without a call back? It might be easier for people without lots of c experience to modify and start doing things. All of these suggestions might not be correct / easy to implement. It is just my opinion that they might improve the site. Thanks for your time Dave
