Full description
Xtables-addons is the successor to patch-o-matic(-ng). Likewise, it contains
extensions that were not, or are not yet, accepted in the main kernel/iptables
packages.
Xtables-addons is different from patch-o-matic in that you do not have to patch
or recompile the kernel, sometimes recompiling iptables is also not needed. But
please see the INSTALL file for the minimum requirements of this package.
