Hello,

What is the purpose of nfq_get_timestamp() in libnfnetlink_queue if
skbs, entering nfnetlink_queue, are not timestamped?

If I remember correctly, skb are timestamped when catch in the FORWARD
chain. This is not the case in some other chains.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like timestamping happens for forwarded frames
only.

I guess you can force timestamping by feeding the packet(s) through 
-m time in the ruleset. Doing so would be a hack, though probably a 
working one :)
