Motivation: This allows netty to operate in 'transparent proxy' mode, intercepting connections to other addresses by means of Linux firewalling rules, as per https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/tproxy.txt The original destination address can be obtained by referencing ch.localAddress(). Modification: Add methods similar to those for ipFreeBind, to set the IP_TRANSPARENT option. Result: Allows setting and getting of the IP_TRANSPARENT option, which allows retrieval of the ultimate socket address originally requested.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
