Address Resolution Protocol

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a communication protocol used for discovering the link layer address, such as a MAC address, associated with a given network layer address, typically an IPv4 address.

Application binary interface

In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) is an interface between two binary program modules; often, one of these modules is a library or operating system facility, and the other is a program that is being run by a user.

Arptables

The arptables computer software utility is a network administrator's tool for maintaining the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packet filter rules in the Linux kernel firewall modules.

Bridging (networking)

A network bridge is a computer networking device that creates a single aggregate network from multiple communication networks or network segments.

New!!: Nftables and Bridging (networking) · See more »

C (programming language)

C (as in the letter ''c'') is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations.

Distributed version control

In software development, distributed version control (also known as distributed revision control) is a form of version control where the complete codebase - including its full history - is mirrored on every developer's computer.

Duplicate code

Duplicate code is a computer programming term for a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity.

Error message

An error message is information displayed when an unexpected condition occurs, usually on a computer or other device.

Firewall (computing)

In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

GNU General Public License

The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or GPL) is a widely used free software license, which guarantees end users the freedom to run, study, share and modify the software.

Gordon Lyon

Gordon Lyon (also known by his pseudonym Fyodor Vaskovich) is a network security expert, open source programmer, writer, and hacker.

Iptables

iptables is a user-space utility program that allows a system administrator to configure the tables provided by the Linux kernel firewall (implemented as different Netfilter modules) and the chains and rules it stores.

New!!: Nftables and Iptables · See more »

IPv4

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP).

New!!: Nftables and IPv4 · See more »

IPv6

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet.

New!!: Nftables and IPv6 · See more »

Linearizability

In concurrent programming, an operation (or set of operations) is atomic, linearizable, indivisible or uninterruptible if it appears to the rest of the system to occur at once without being interrupted.

New!!: Nftables and Linearizability · See more »

Linux

Linux is a family of free and open-source software operating systems built around the Linux kernel.

New!!: Nftables and Linux · See more »

Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is an open-source monolithic Unix-like computer operating system kernel.

New!!: Nftables and Linux kernel · See more »

LWN.net

LWN.net is a computing webzine with an emphasis on free software and software for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.

New!!: Nftables and LWN.net · See more »

Netfilter

Netfilter is a framework provided by Linux that allows various networking-related operations to be implemented in the form of customized handlers.

New!!: Nftables and Netfilter · See more »

Netlink

The Netlink socket family is a Linux kernel interface used for inter-process communication (IPC) between both the kernel and userspace processes, and between different userspace processes, in a way similar to the Unix domain sockets.

Network packet

A network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network.

New!!: Nftables and Network packet · See more »

OpenDocument

The Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF), also known as OpenDocument, is a ZIP-compressed XML-based file format for spreadsheets, charts, presentations and word processing documents.

New!!: Nftables and OpenDocument · See more »

User space

A modern computer operating system usually segregates virtual memory into kernel space and user space.

New!!: Nftables and User space · See more »

Virtual machine

In computing, a virtual machine (VM) is an emulation of a computer system.
