Subject: iptables performance and alternatives
Date: Thu, 15 May 2008 14:21:23 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805151421.23862.anton.vazir@gmail.com> (raw)
Regarding the performance of the lookup of the iptables
rules for match inside the kernel, is there any plans to
improve the behaviour or no plans in this area yet?
For example on the transit gateway I have ~500 rules which
mark the packet, according to the client source IP - with
unique mark per client IP - so I have 500 unique marks
there, and so cannot use IPSET, and only IPTABLES - but
it's known that iptables insert/lookup is very slow on huge
rulesets (atleat with iptables 1.3.x) and slowness
progresses approximatelly exponentially on growth of rules
number.
Do I miss anything?
