A firewall rule specifies criteria for a packet and a target. If the

\fBACCEPT\fP means to let the packet through.
\fBDROP\fP means to drop the packet on the floor.
-\fBQUEUE\fP means to pass the packet to userspace.
-(How the packet can be received
-by a userspace process differs by the particular queue handler. 2.4.x
