From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andres Velasco Garcia Subject: Meaning of NFQUEUE's --queue-balance option Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:01:43 +0100 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Return-path: Sender: netfilter-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" To: netfilter@vger.kernel.org I would like to understand how load is distributed across different que= ues using NFQUEUE's --queue-balance option. The only information I could find on the subject is in the iptables man= page, where I read: "Packets belonging to the same connection are put = into the same nfqueue" I have two questions: 1- Would this be true also if NFQUEUE target is triggered within the "m= angle" and not the "nat" table? 2- I would find useful for my application if all packets from/to the sa= me IP address (not only "connection") would flow though the same queue = always. Is this somehow ensured by queue-balance?=20 =A0 Thanks Andres Velasco=20 M: +34 670 40 73 69=20 Skype:=A0newwwave.andres.velasco
