[PATCH mptcp-next v2 1/2] selftests: mptcp: convert iptables to nftables for mptcp_sockopt.sh
From: Hangbin Liu
Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 21:14:21 EST
From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@xxxxxxxxxx>
During the conversion, we retain the same filter and chain names previously
used by iptables/ip6tables. Counters are not added to accept rules because
the test does not inspect them. After conversion, the generated output
matches the original iptables/ip6tables behavior.
