ABSTRACT
nftables (https://git.netfilter.org/nftables) is the next-generation firewall for the Linux kernel, the default choice in most modern distributions. Its unified architecture, based on sets and maps, enables efficient and scalable readwriteonce-style rules, which replace iptables, ip6tables, arptables, and ebtables scripts within a single framework.
