Hello,
I recently switch from iptables to nftables (I have a very
simple/personal firewall).
When I built my iptables firewall I refereed to the packet flow diagram
(by Jan Engelhardt) on iptables Wikipedia web page :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iptables#/media/File:Netfilter-packet-flow.svg
Using this diagram for nftables firewall is hard as some concept
changed.
I did some tests and draw my own diagram (using yed editor) covering
all netdev, ip, ip6, inet, bridge and arp tables :
https://pelican.craoc.fr/#packet-flow
Direct URL and yed sources :
* https://pelican.craoc.fr/images/packet_flow.svg
* https://pelican.craoc.fr/images/packet_flow.graphml
Can you please verify it ? Feedback would be much appreciated :)
I am not a network expert but the subject interest me and I would like
to know if I misunderstand something.
I put this diagram on CC-BY-SA license so feel free to use/modify it if
you like.
Note: I draw an arp-forward-filter chain in the diagram because I can
create one, but I can't actually saw any packet going through it.
I think it's a bug, so I draw it anyway. More informations :
