Neptunium hexafluoride

Neptunium hexafluoride (NpF₆) is the highest fluoride of neptunium. It is an orange volatile crystalline solid. It is relatively hard to handle, being very corrosive and radioactive. It is prepared by fluorination of Neptunium(IV) fluoride (NpF₄) by powerful fluorinating agents such as elemental fluorine.

It can also be obtained by fluorination of neptunium(III) fluoride.

Features

NPF is designed for high performance on SMP systems and for easy extensibility. It supports various forms of Network Address Translation (NAT), stateful packet inspection, tree and hash tables for IP sets, bytecode (BPF or n-code) for custom filter rules and other features. NPF has extension framework for supporting custom modules. Features such as packet logging, traffic normalization, random blocking are provided as NPF extensions.
