What is the format of the header read from netfilter queues?

+2 votes
352 views

From the docs on netfilter queues:

nfq_set_mode(qh, NFQNL_COPY_PACKET, 0xffff);
...
fd = nfq_fd(h);
while ((rv = recv(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0)) >= 0)
{
 printf("pkt receivedn");
 nfq_handle_packet(h, buf, rv);
}

When the CPU hits the printf()....what exactly has been read from fd?

Looking at a hex dump of the bytes read, it doesn't look like L2+L3, etc... But I think I'm seeing L3 about 58 bytes into the buffer. So what are the first 58 bytes?

Which is what nfq_get_payload() returns as well.

Is there significance to those first 58 or so bytes? If I subtract 14 from nfq_get_payload(), it doesn't seem to be L2.

I would like to DNAT IPv4 to IPv6. Is this currently possible maybe with nftables?
I'm looking for something similiar to:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 4001 -d 1.2.3.4 -j DNAT --to '[fd00::fffa:1]:22'

I want to use network ranges and host IP's in named maps. Using them in anonymous maps works:

# nft add rule filter output ip daddr vmap {192.168.0.0/24 : drop, 192.168.0.1 : accept}

However, in named maps it failes:

# nft -i
nft> add map filter verdict_map { type ipv4_address : verdict; }
nft> add element filter verdict_map { 1.2.3.5 : drop}
nft> add element filter verdict_map { 1.2.3.4/16 : accept}
BUG: invalid data expression type prefix

How do i use ranges or more complex expressions like IP + Port in maps?
