Hello.

I am writing an application which uses the QUEUE target and am using
the libipq library.

I have a question regarding the thread safety of the library: is it
possible to do an ipq_read from one thread and an ipq_set_verdict from another?
Searching the archive of both netfilter and netfilter-devel yields no
definite answers...

Thanks for your help.

It should be. But I'd use nfnetlink_queue, which obsoletes ip_queue.
