Nftables pulled for 3.13

For those who have been following nftables , the replacement firewall subsystem for the kernel: this code has just been pulled into the net-next tree. That means that, barring some sort of trouble, it will be merged in the 3.13 development cycle. This code is not ready to replace iptables yet, but the pace of the work should increase once this subsystem is in the mainline. Anybody wanting to try out nftables can see the quick howto page for instructions. Log in to post comments)
