libnetfilter_conntrack is a userspace library providing a programming interface (API) to the in-kernel connection tracking state table.

libnetfilter_conntrack has been previously known as libnfnetlink_conntrack and libctnetlink.

libnetfilter_conntrack library is used by conntrack.

Here are some key features of "libnetfilter conntrack":
listing/retrieving entries from the kernel connection tracking table
inserting/modifying/deleting entries from the kernel connection tracking table
listing/retrieving entries from the kernel expect table
inserting/modifying/deleting entries from the kernel expect table

Requirements:
libnetfilter_conntrack requires libnfnetlink and a kernel that includes the nfnetlink_conntrack subsystem (i.e. 2.6.14 or later).

What's New in This Release:
This version fully supports nf_conntrack and therefore IPv6 connection tracking.
