flow of packet from iptable to snort_inline

Subject: flow of packet from iptable to snort_inline
Date: Sat, 14 May 2005 18:29:57 +0530
Hi,

I have query about flow of packets from iptables to snort_inline.

Problem discription:
-------------------
Assuming that iptables have filters to allow tcp packets, now since
the incomming packets (tcp) are permitted, iptables will maintain
session information in stateful inspection table.

I want to know if iptable send all incomming packets to snort_inline
or it sends only first few packets.

In case of TCP, does iptables send packets only till 3 way handshake 
is done(before entry is made into stateful table), or it sends all 
packets for that connection to snort_inline.

Thanks & Regards
Saurabh Agrawal
