[pve-devel] [PATCH ve-rs 1/2] fix: firewall: introduce iptables to nftables mapping for icmpv6-types

Tue Sep 16 11:31:10 CEST 2025
nftables changed the names of the icmpv6-types and they don't overlap
completely with the old iptables names. Introduce a mapping that
converts old names into the new ones. A few of these are not supported,
see here for more info:
