[LARTC] Memory Loading

[LARTC] Memory Loading

[Patrick Turley]

Our system has potentially a few thousand firewall rules and HTB 
classes. I need to find out the amount of memory these things consume:

     - iptables firewall rules
     - HTB classes

If anyone has any easy links to this information, that would be great. 
Failing that, a pointer to a good place to look in the source code would 
be very helpful.

You should not be concerned about memory load, it does not cost that much
cpu load will be more noticeable bottleneck for your system in any way.

as about memeory i suppose it takes about 50-100bytes each rule and up to
100 kbytes each queue like sfq.

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, I *am* concerned about memory load, and I need to track 
down this information. The approximate numbers you suggested seem 
reasonable, but I need the precise answers. I don't use SFQ at all.
