Question about memory in C

[victordetoni@gmail.com (Victor Detoni)]

Hi,

Thank you for your tip! I really appreciate it. In my situation I will have
many profiles and for each profile I can have many ip address, for example:

profile 1:
192.168.0.0/24
192.168.1.2/32
192.168.14/23
...

profile 2:
10.10.10.0/24
10.11.12.0/23
...

What's your opinion? I'm thinking to use pcap library, but I still haven't
the key.
