Get started with nftables on openSUSE

netfilter.org states that "nftables is the project that aims to replace the existing {ip,ip6,arp,eb}tables framework." The nftables kernel code was merged into the mainline kernel in January 2014. So it's time to get started with the new Linux firewall framework on openSUSE.

One idea at the end of hackweek would be to have a radio button inside the YaST Firewall module to generate either iptables or nftables output rules.

      Maybe we can consider enabling nftables as the default firewalld backend as a part of this project? We tried it once year ago, we failed because of some error from Docker. But it would be nice to try again.
