kernel Iptables/TCP/IP stack

[djbilly43]

what is the specifics on connecting the IPtables to the kernel?
Where can I get info on these specifics?
I also need specifics on how the TCP/IP stack connects to the kernel.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you mean.
Anyway, for any competent information your first stop should be the "manufacturer" of iptables. netfilter/iptables project homepage - The netfilter.org project

Linux Kernel Newbies - Linux Kernel Newbies seems to be a good intro, too.


If your project is very long-termed, be aware that iptables is just about to be replaced by its successor, nftables.
