"iptables is the userspace command line program used to configure the
Linux 2.4.x and later IPv4 packet filtering ruleset (firewall). It is targeted at
system administrators. Since Network Address Translation is also configured
from the packet filter ruleset, iptables is used for this, too. The iptables
package also includes ip6tables. ip6tables is used for configuring the IPv6
packet filter.")
