- Convert NPF connection table to thmap. State lookup is now lock-free.
- Improve connection state G/C: it is now incremental and tunable.
- Add support for dynamic NAT address. Translation addresses can now be
selected from a pool of addresses. There are two selection algorithms,
"ip-hash" and "round-robin" (see the man page).
- Translation address can be specified as e.g. ifaddrs(wm0) in npf.conf
to dynamically choose an IP from the interface address(es).
- Add support for the NETMAP algorithm with static NAT for net-to-net
translation (it is equivalent to iptables NETMAP logic).
- Convert 'ipset' tables to use thmap; the table lookup is now lock-free.
- Misc improvements, bug fixes and more unit tests.
- Bump NPF_VERSION (will also bump libnpf).
- This conversion significantly simplifies the code and moves NPF to
a binary serialisation format (replacing the XML-like format).
- Fix some memory/reference leaks and possibly use-after-free bugs.
- Bump NPF_VERSION as this change makes libnpf incompatible with the
previous versions. Also, different serialisation format means NPF
connection/config saving and loading is not compatible with the
previous versions either.
Thanks to christos@ for extra testing.
- Split off npf_conn_export(). Add npf_ifmap_getname() and use it to save
the interface name; pick it up on npf_conn_import().
- Misc fixes. Bump NPF_VERSION.
- Add support for saving a snapshot of the current connections together
with a full configuration. Support a reverse load operation. Eliminate
the old 'sess-save' and 'sess-load' in favour of the new mechanism.
- Share code between load and reload operations: the latter performs
load from npf.conf without affecting the connections.
- Simplify and fix races with connection loading.
- Bump NPF_VERSION.
If an interface is or gets detached, all associated rules and connections
will be deactivated (it might be useful to have an option to invalidate
the associated connections). Once the interface is reattached they will
become active.
Bump NPF_VERSION.
npfctl(8) and generate separate marks to describe the filter criteria.
- Rewrite 'npfctl show' functionality and fix some of the bugs.
- npftest: add a test for BPF COP.
- Bump NPF_VERSION.
- Implement dynamic NPF rules. Controlled through npf(3) library of via
npfctl rule command. A rule can be removed using a unique identifier,
returned on addition, or using a key which is SHA1 hash of the rule.
Adjust npftest and add a regression test.
- Improvements to rule inspection mechanism.
- Initial BPF support as an alternative to n-code.
- Minor fixes; bump the version.
dynamically loaded module (.so) supplementing npfctl(8) and a kernel
module. Move normalisation and logging functionality into their own
extensions. More improvements to come.
by npfctl debug functionality. Auto-create npftest interfaces for this.
- NPF sessions: combine protocol and interface into a separate substructure,
share between the entries and thus fix the handling of them. Constify.
- npftest: add regression tests for NAT policies.
- npf_build_nat: simplify and fix bi-NAT regression.
- Bump yacc stack size for npfctl.
