Question one:
I have been confusing with "output", "input" and "forward"...
I am a green hand in Ros, and I have referred few references, but still can not make clear about the concept of "output","input" and "forward"...
In my view that "input" and "output" means that the communication which within the confine of the Lan, the traffic flow could not go out beyond the gateway and do not involved with Public IP; As to "forward", means one computer which is outside a Lan desires to corresponds with a workstation which within the Lan, the packets must go through the gateway. Am I right?
Question Two:
There is a question worrying me,why so many "established connections" in my "Firewall-Filter-connection" like below picture?
The situation is,every time when I launched a P2P software and after few minutes then I closed it.But the large amount of connections which the P2P software established would not be closed,it remain to exist. I have tried to reduce the value of "TCP established timeout",but when the "timeout" run over ,the connections would close,but it seems could automaticlly establish another connection again.So please look at the left-bottom of the picture, "309 items" maintain "established connections" after I closed the P2P software an hour.I just have one work-station in the Lan(it hard to imagine how many "established connection" would exist if few more stations... ),the "items" sometimes amount to thousands,the most horrible is that,these thousands "established connections" would last forever,it wouldn't end itself unless I reboot the router.Had I done something wrong in some where? Can someone that generously give me a succor? Thanks
Question Three:
And one thing I don't understand,the communication is between "Dst.Address" "116.23.73.80"(my ADSL Ip address) and outside Internet,not involved with my computer's address-192.168.2.2 at all.Is this so call "forward"?
