	(the bash shell www.gnu.org/software/bash).
	It's purpose is to configure IPv4 firewalling and traffic shaping of a linux host.
	To achieve this, IP-Array configures the linux kernels netfilter / traffic control
	subsystems via the userspace tools iptables / ipset / tc.
	It also allows to load and / or unload netfilter related kernel modules and
	configure the kernel using the sysctl program.

	Intended Audience: Advanced End Users, System Administrators.

	Field of application: From a single host system to a multi-homed router or gateway.

Where to get it?
	IP-Array is currently hosted at sf.net.

	Its homepage is at: http://ip-array.sourceforge.net/.

		They can be written in different ways depending on the need.
		Either as (grouped / nested) XML tags, or so called ruleblocks,
		where only values have to be put into.
		Their structure is defined by custom templates.
	- sysctl rules are written in XML.
	- Different start modi.
	- Custom epilog and prolog scripts for each start mode.
	- Muliple levels of output verbosity with optional syslog logging.
	- Coloured output (can be disabled).
	- Various /proc filesystem settings.
	- Automatic 'jump tree' creation options.
	- An interactive wizard based mode to create configuration files.
	- Public functions.
	- ipset support.
	- Some autoconfig presets for DNS, FTP, SMTP, NTP, IPSEC, etc.
	- Traffic shaping.
	- The ability to save the generated iptables / ipset, tc rules, modprobe,
		or sysctl commands to a file.
	- Error handling. Previous system states can be restored on error.
