the packet mark.

nftables is the new packet classification framework that intends to
replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}_tables infrastructure. It
provides a pseudo-state machine with an extensible instruction-set
(also known as expressions) that the userspace 'nft' utility
(http://www.netfilter.org/projects/nftables) uses to build the
rule-set. It also comes with the generic set infrastructure that
allows you to construct mappings between matchings and actions
for performance lookups.
To compile it as a module, choose M here.
config NFT_EXTHDR config NFT_EXTHDR

IPv6 extension headers.

This option adds the "rbtree" set type (Red Black tree) that is used
to build interval-based sets.

This option adds the "hash" set type that is used to build one-way
mappings between matchings and actions.

include packet and byte counters in a rule.
