+Tutorial: Firewalling using netfilter/iptables in Linux 2.4
+
+One of the major advantages of the new Linux 2.4.x kernel series is the 
+new packet filtering / NAT / packet mangling sybsystem, called iptables.
+Iptables is the successor of ipchains and ipfwadm in 2.2 and 2.0 kernels.
+Major new features are stateful firewalling, extensibility and better NAT
+(Network Address Translation) support. 
+
+Topics:
+
+- concepts behind new netfilter/iptables infrastructure
+- usage of iptables
+- case example of a real-world firewall
+- current (experimental) netfilter work - or "what is patch-o-matic"
+- writing netfilter/iptables extension modules
+
+The tutorial will be presented by two of the netfilter core team members,
+Rusty Russel <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> and Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>
