In particular, the connection tracking code reassembles fragments, which means that not only will connection tracking not be reliable, but your packets may not get through at all, as fragments will be withheld.</P> <HR> <A HREF="NAT-HOWTO-9.html">Next</A> <A HREF="NAT-HOWTO-7.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="NAT-HOWTO.html#toc8">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
