I think BPF may come into context here, but I've mostly ignored it, so |

I'm not sure. |

What do you mean? |

I've seen newer match extensions and targets over the years. But those |
| 14 |
are simply additional optional bits. I.e. you need to have the module |
| 15 |
loaded or compiled into your kernel. |

I vaguely remember ipchains. I don't remember what was before it, |
| 20 |
ipfwadm(?). |

Maybe it was my ignorance at the time, but I wouldn't use the word |
| 23 |
"fondly" to describe my experience with ipchains. |

I am fond of iptables / ebtables / arptables. |

I've looked at nftables a few times in the last 18 months and have |
| 28 |
decided not to take that plunge yet. Usually it's because I feel like I |
| 29 |
don't have feature parity between iptables and nftables for the iptables |
| 30 |
features that I use. |
