<title>Description</title>
<para>Entries in this file govern connection establishment by defining
exceptions to the policies layed out in <ulink
url="shorewall6-policy.html">shorewall6-policy</ulink>(5). By default,
subsequent requests and responses are automatically allowed using
connection tracking. For any particular (source,dest) pair of zones, the
rules are evaluated in the order in which they appear in this file and the
first terminating match is the one that determines the disposition of the
request. All rules are terminating except LOG and QUEUE rules.</para>
<para>The rules file is divided into sections. Each section is introduced
by a "Section Header" which is a line beginning with SECTION and followed
by the section name.</para>
<para>Sections are as follows and must appear in the order listed:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets in the ESTABLISHED state are processed by rules in
this section.</para>
<para>The only ACTIONs allowed in this section are ACCEPT, DROP,
REJECT, LOG and QUEUE</para>
<para>There is an implicit ACCEPT rule inserted at the end of this
section.</para>

<listitem>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<note>
<para>If you are not familiar with Netfilter to the point where you are
comfortable with the differences between the various connection tracking
states, then it is suggested that you omit the <emphasis
role="bold">ESTABLISHED</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">RELATED</emphasis> sections and place all of your rules in
the NEW section (That's after the line that reads SECTION NEW').</para>
</note>
<warning>
<para>If you specify FASTACCEPT=Yes in <ulink

</warning>
<para>You may omit any section that you don't need. If no Section Headers
appear in the file then all rules are assumed to be in the NEW
section.</para>

<listitem>
<para>May be used to limit the number of simultaneous connections
from each individual host to <replaceable>limit</replaceable>
connections. Requires connlimit match in your kernel and ip6tables.
While the limit is only checked on rules specifying CONNLIMIT, the
number of current connections is calculated over all current
connections from the SOURCE host. By default, the limit is applied
to each host but can be made to apply to networks of hosts by
specifying a <replaceable>mask</replaceable>. The
<replaceable>mask</replaceable> specifies the width of a VLSM mask
to be applied to the source address; the number of current
connections is then taken over all hosts in the subnet
<replaceable>source-address</replaceable>/<replaceable>mask</replaceable>.
When<option> !</option> is specified, the rule matches when the
number of connection exceeds the
<replaceable>limit</replaceable>.</para>
