 cat << EOF
-iptables is built on top of netfilter: the new packet alteration
-framework for Linux 2.4. It is an enhancement on ipchains, and is used
-to control packet filtering, Network Address Translation (masquerading,
-portforwarding, transparent proxying), and special effects.
+iptables is the userspace command line program used to configure the Linux 2.4.x
+and 2.6.x IPv4 packet filtering ruleset. It is targeted towards system
+administrators.
+
+Since Network Address Translation is also configured from the packet filter
+ruleset, iptables is used for this, too.
+
+The iptables package also includes ip6tables. ip6tables is used for configuring
+the IPv6 packet filter.
+
+Main features:
+ * listing the contents of the packet filter ruleset
+ * adding/removing/modifying rules in the packet filter ruleset
+ * listing/zeroing per-rule counters of the packet filter ruleset
