	  This module implements an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) for

	  management system to access multiple private networks with

	  inside SNMP payloads to match IP-layer NAT mapping.

	  This is the "basic" form of SNMP-ALG, as described in RFC 2962

# `filter', generic and specific targets
config CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER

	help
	  Packet filtering defines a table `filter', which has a series of

	  server. This allows to avoid conntrack and server resource usage
	  during SYN-flood attacks.

	  To compile it as a module, choose CONFIG_M here. If unsure, say N.

	depends on CONFIG_NETFILTER_ADVANCED
	---help---
	  This option adds a `ECN' target, which can be used in the iptables mangle
	  table.

	  You can use this target to remove the ECN bits from the IPv4 header of
	  an IP packet.  This is particularly useful, if you need to work around
	  existing ECN blackholes on the internet, but don't want to disable
	  ECN support in general.

	  To compile it as a module, choose CONFIG_M here.  If unsure, say N.

	  and OUTPUT chains.

	  If you want to compile it as a module, say CONFIG_M here and read
	  <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst>.  If unsure, say `N'.
