profiling

[baua]

hi list,
i have to do some performance test on iptables and i'm not very familiar
with kernel profiling stuff. i would like to do some bandwidth test
depending on the rule set of iptables (quiet easy to realize) 
and some tests about cpu performance comsumption of iptables 
during different transmission tasks (quiet heavy stuff for me).
can anybody give me some support and link me to helpful pages?
thanks

hi-pac guys performed some benchmarks to compare its work with iptables:

In performance test -> independent, you can find more links.

I don't know any pages with this kind of info, anyway if you find 
something, I think that that would be interesting, so don't hesitate to 
post the link to the maillist.
