Hi community,
Does anybody know if the IPTables firewalling subsystem is a real
stateful inspection one, like OpenBSD Packet Filter or Cisco PIX, or
it is just a connection tracking firewall which just checks for
connection ports and IP addresses? Is it somewhere available a recent
and updated comparison in performance and feutures between IPTables
and Packet Filter?

Thanks a lot in advance

Dario
