This the text of paragraph 10:
========================================
IP filtering firewall is designed to control the flow of packets based
the source, destination, port and packet type. In muLinux (version >
2.7, setup ipfwadm) You can enable IP masquerade feature and IP
generic protection on a Linux server, allowing connected computers
(running TCP/IP, but without registered Internet address) to connect
to the Internet through your muLinux box.
========================================
Masqueranding is a kind of IP manipulation: it fall under ipfwadm
scope.
