Conntection tracking isn't implemented in ipv6 AFSIK.

What it means is that you can't use -match state so you don't have access to the NEW, ESTABLISH or RELATED

You can still check on all the ip flags

iptables query

hello,

i had another question ... i need a method to do one of the following 2 choices -

1. I receive a packet of an interface and apply source nat but i also need to change the destination address!

or

2. I receive the packet and send it over a tunnel interface (based on the destination address) but i also need to change the destination address ( the ROUTE patch allows me direct the packet to the tunnel interface based on the dest address but how do i change this address before it is sent to the tunnel interface) ....also if i have multiple tunnel interfaces as options for one destination address - can i achieve a round robin kind of usage between them?

Thanks,
Hitesh

Conntection tracking isn't implemented in ipv6 AFSIK.

Do you know. why this isn't implemented yet?
Are there technical reasons or only a problem of priorities?

I would like to have IPv6 statefull inspection, because i and some others want to play with IPV6 over freenet6. But making firewall rules w/o statefull inspection isn't really funny, nor is it compareable.

No, I don't know, only passing on what I have read in the dev mailing list.

Dev team wants to achieve a layer 3 independant framework with associated conntrack, so they do not have to duplicate code between IPv4 and IPv6. Tools will be called pkttables. In the meantime, stuff like POM-ng (for 2.6) or nfnetlink/ctnetlink seems to have been prioritorized. I am no developper, so I give you my understanding of the situation, which can be a complete misundestanding :)

However, Yasuyuki Kozakai from USAGI project posted a couple of patches to add IPv6 conntrack to Netfilter. Just crawle dev mailing list archives and you will find it quick.

Use Yasuyuki patch if it works fine for you (never tested it), or use BSD pf while waiting for official pkttables release.
