Subject: fragmentation flag
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 21:42:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0207102142250F.04513@Lms> (raw)
I am not sure about the fragmentation option: -f.
I understand that this flag is not needed "if you use connection tracking".
But what exactly is meant by "if you use connection tracking" ? Does it mean:
"if the ip_conntrack module is loaded", or does it mean: "if you have rules
using NEW, ESTABLISHED etc" ?
And is it correct that, in that case, all fragmented packets will be
unfragmented before they hit any chains, so I will not see any unfragmented
packets anyway?
And in case I do need to use the -f option, then in which chains and in which
rules?
BTW: I am using iptables v1.2.1a.
Jan Humme.
