OT: Good (iptables) tracing examples?

From: Philip A. Prindeville

Are there any good examples of using the TRACE target in iptables to follow a packet through the system?

I googled some of the examples, but they all seem fairly simple (and not very useful).

Also, if you see an incoming packet from a new connection that ends up creating state, is there any way to also trace any packets that might be generated in response (such as a SYN-ACK or an RESET or a Port-Unreachable, etc.) as part of the same flow?

Thanks,

-Philip
