I had seen a patch in patch-o-matic which is supposed to fix a performance
issue in SNAT during floods. In fact the current kernel runs with the above
said patch.
You are right. In fact, I am rewriting the script which will generate
netfilter rules. I wanted to find out whether I can fine tune the new
netfilter rule set to offset the overloading of the gateway due to syn/icmp
floods.
Do you think, if I have a hierarchical filter rule set, there would be an
improvement?
