[PATCH net-next 12/12] netfilter: nft_ct: support expectation creation for natted flows
From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2026-07-02 10:51:05
Also in:
netfilter-devel
Subsystem:
netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers:

This feature only works for connections originating from the host and only if there no source address rewrite. Add the needed nat glue to have the expectation follow the original nat binding.
