To just filter packets for my own machine I would have to add ?:

        Network firewalls
        IP: forwarding/gatewaying ??
        IP: firewalling

Is forwarding/gatewaying required for filtering packets ?
Is forwarding/gatewaying required for masquerading ?

Can someone be more specific on the definitions for:

        Network firewalls
        IP: forwarding/gatewaying
        IP: firewalling
        IP: masquerading
        IP: ipautofw masq support
        IP: ICMP masquerading
        IP: transparent proxy support (EXPERIMENTAL)
        IP: always defragment
        IP: accounting


Thanks,
Matthew
