+Disclaimer:
+===========
+
+This software is provided as is. I take no responsibility if it destroys your
+data or opens up a security hole on your firewall. That said, I have yet to
+hear something about this happening.
+
+I did not create this code myself, most was written by Tom Marshall, later on
+Harald Welte and then Steven van Acker ported it to the new 2.6 netfilter API.
+I just picked up this code in 2007 and made it compile and hopefully work with
+the new changed netfilter API.
+
+Bugs:
+=====
+
+Of course there are. One of the most important ones, is that you MUST NOT
+filter outgoing connections otherwise the reply packes go missing. I tried to
+figure out, why the _expect call is not taking care of the outgoing connections
+but I was not able to figure this out. I gladly welcome patches that fix this
+and other bugs.
+
+Build Instructions:
+===================
+
+Have the kernel source ready in some place and NF_CONNTRACK_NAT enabled in the
+configuration otherwise you will get an error during make. The Kbuild setup
+looks in /lib/modules/\`uname -r\`/build for the source.
+
+If the source is located in another place set the KERNELDIR environment
+variable accordingly.
+
+After that a:
+
+ * make
+ * make modules_install (as root)
+
+should be enough.
+Then do a "modprobe nf_nat_rtsp" as root and try to connect to a RTSP
+service.
