A --------------------------------- B ---------------------------> signaling ---> introducing rules in the nat tables ---------------------------> data for the newly introduced rules In my problem I have two machines: A and B. A is sending a signal for introducing a rule in the NAT tables (libiptc stuff) and imediately afterwards stars sending the data to the newly created nat rule. The race condition is clear. Can you help me please with any ideas on how to solve this problem.
