+ iptables is the userspace command line program used to set up, maintain, and
+ inspect the tables of IPv4 packet filter rules in the Linux kernel. It's a
+ part of packet filtering framework which allows the stateless and stateful
+ packet filtering, all kinds of network address and port translation, and is a
+ flexible and extensible infrastructure with multiple layers of API's for 3rd
+ party extensions. The iptables package also includes ip6tables. ip6tables is
+ used for configuring the IPv6 packet filter.
+
+ Note that some extensions (e.g. imq and l7filter) are not included into
+ official kernel sources so you have to patch the sources before installation.
