141What: ip_queue and ip6_queue (old ipv4-only and ipv6-only netfilter queue)
142When: December 2005
143Why: This interface has been obsoleted by the new layer3-independent
144 "nfnetlink_queue". The Kernel interface is compatible, so the old
145 ip[6]tables "QUEUE" targets still work and will transparently handle
146 all packets into nfnetlink queue number 0. Userspace users will have
147 to link against API-compatible library on top of libnfnetlink_queue
148 instead of the current 'libipq'.
