Table 2.1

The information is factually correct, but confusingly represented.

I'd suggest using something like:

Class Network(s) CIDR Mask
A 10.0.0.0 /8
B 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.0.0 /16
C 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.0 /24

A network translation example

For the example the book says to type:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -dport 80
-j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.3:8080

--dport 80.

The argument with 1 dash in the example is incorrect. The argument listed in the
table with 2 dashes is correct.
