2.7. Layout of this document

We will be doing interesting stuff almost immediately, which also means that there will initially be parts that are explained incompletely or are not perfect. Please gloss over these parts and assume that all will become clear.

Routing and filtering are two distinct things. Filtering is documented very well by Rusty's HOWTOs, available here:

• Rusty's Remarkably Unreliable Guides

We will be focusing mostly on what is possible by combining netfilter and iproute2.
