+Subject: [PATCH] src: support for flowtable listing
+
+This patch allows you to dump existing flowtable.
+
+ # nft list ruleset
+ table ip x {
+ flowtable x {
+ hook ingress priority 10
+ devices = { eth0, tap0 }
+ }
+ }
+
+You can also list existing flowtables via:
+
+ # nft list flowtables
+ table ip x {
+ flowtable x {
+ hook ingress priority 10
+ devices = { eth0, tap0 }
+ }
+ }
+
+ You need a Linux kernel >= 4.16-rc to test this new feature.

+Subject: [PATCH] src: add support to add flowtables
+
+This patch allows you to create flowtable:
+
+ # nft add table x
+ # nft add flowtable x m { hook ingress priority 10\; devices = { eth0, wlan0 }\; }
+
+You have to specify hook and priority. So far, only the ingress hook is
+supported. The priority represents where this flowtable is placed in the
+ingress hook, which is registered to the devices that the user
+specifies.
+
+You can also use the 'create' command instead to bail out in case that
+there is an existing flowtable with this name.

+Subject: [PATCH] src: flow offload support
+
+This patch allows us to refer to existing flowtables:
+
+ # nft add rule x x flow offload @m
+
+Packets matching this rule create an entry in the flow table 'm', hence,
+follow up packets that get to the flowtable at ingress bypass the
+classic forwarding path.

++ Flowtables allow you to accelerate packet forwarding in software.
++ Flowtables entries are represented through a tuple that is composed of the
++ input interface, source and destination address, source and destination
++ port; and layer 3/4 protocols. Each entry also caches the destination
++ interface and the gateway address - to update the destination link-layer
++ address - to forward packets. The ttl and hoplimit fields are also
++ decremented. Hence, flowtables provides an alternative path that allow
++ packets to bypass the classic forwarding path. Flowtables reside in the
++ ingress hook, that is located before the prerouting hook. You can select
++ what flows you want to offload through the <literal>flow offload</literal>
++ expression from the <literal>forward</literal> chain. Flowtables are
++ identified by their address family and their name. The address family
++ must be one of
++
++ <simplelist type="inline">
++ <member><literal>ip</literal></member>
++ <member><literal>ip6</literal></member>
++ <member><literal>inet</literal></member>
++ </simplelist>.
++
++ The <literal>inet</literal> address family is a dummy family which is used to create
++ hybrid IPv4/IPv6 tables.
++
++ When no address family is specified, <literal>ip</literal> is used by default.
