Network geeks among you may remember my article, linux socket filter. In order to use the driver a program has to open devnettun and issue a corresponding ioctl to register a network device with the kernel. Create iptables rules which will pass the traffic from the desired table filter, nat, mangle to the userspace, through the queue target. Even if netfilter allows you to bring packets up to user space and feed them to your programs, the focus there is to handle network address translation nat, packet mangling, connection tracking, packet filtering for security purposes and so on. Currently, developers have two options in linux a ethtool or b implementuse hardware specific apis. This rule sends matching packets to 2 loadbalanced queues total 2 starting at 3 num 3.

Configure your queue with a call to bind, then start receiving packets with a call to run queuehandler. Packets so matched can be accepted, dropped, altered, or given a mark. Packets with a target of queue will be sent to queue number 0 in this case. Passing packets to userspace is costly, so instead lets try to drop. The intended use of napi in network device drivers is as follows. If i check the output of iptables nvl input the number of packets doesnt increase, so theyre.
For example, the following rule will ask for a decision to a listening userpsace program for all packet going to the box.

It can be seen as a simple pointtopoint or ethernet device, which, instead of receiving packets from physical media, receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to the user space program. Netfilter has the ability to queue packets to user space. The solution allows filtering incomingoutgoing tcp connections and udp datagrams in user mode application.
