1 The conntrack-tools are a set of tools targeted at system administrators.
2 They are conntrack, the userspace command line interface, and conntrackd,
3 the userspace daemon.
4 The tool conntrack provides a full featured interface that is intended
5 to replace the old /proc/net/ip_conntrack interface.
6 Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel connection tracking
7 state table from userspace.
8 On the other hand, conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful
9 firewalls to enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as
10 statistics collector as well.
12 Since 1.2.0, the conntrack-tools includes the nfct command line utility.
13 This utility only supports the nfnetlink_cttimeout by now.
14 In the long run, we expect that it will replace conntrack by providing
15 a syntax similar to nftables.
