You might take a look at

$ man iptables
...
TARGETS
...
QUEUE means to pass the packet to userspace (if supported by the kernel).

$ sed -n -e '1874,1876p' /usr/src/linux-2.4.0/Documentation/Configure.help
CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE
Netfilter has the ability to queue packets to user space: the
netlink device can be used to access them using this driver.

$ lynx /usr/share/doc/iptables/html/packet-filtering-HOWTO-7.html
