nftables is a subsystem of the Linux kernel providing filtering and classification of network packets/datagrams/frames. It has been available since Linux kernel 3.13 released on 19 January 2014.
nftables replaces the legacy iptables component of Netfilter. Among the advantages of nftables over iptables is less code duplication and easier extension to new protocols. Among the disadvantages of nftables is that DPI that was provided by "iptables string match" like SNI filtering is not supported.
