❝Pseudo-state machine in kernel-space: the userspace utility nftables interprets the rule-set provided by the user (using a new syntax), it compiles it into the pseudo-state machine bytecode and then it transfers it to the kernel via the nftables Netlink's API. Roughly, the idea behind nftables is similar to the Berkeley Packet Filters (BPF).❞
