Netfilter is a set of hooks in the Linux kernel that allows interaction between kernel modules and the network stack. Iptables is a framework which allows for the definition of rules that make use of these hooks.

Hi,

Thanx for giving me this idea.


Can u tell me the internal architecture (i.e) the interrelation between the iptables and netfilter module

Check the Netfilter Hacking howto at the netfilter.org documentation section, I believe it should cover you.
