What will be an ideal response?
netfilter is an infrastructure; it is the basic API that the Linux kernel offers for applications that want to view and manipulate network packets. It adds the ability to set IP packet filters to a Linux system which can be used to add firewall as well as NAT functionality to a system. iptables is an interface that uses netfilter to classify and act on packets. It can thus be used to setup, maintain and inspect filter rules to a Linux kernel.
