Re: Performance Monitoring

[Michael Gale <michael@bluesuperman.com>]

Hello,

	Even if you have a script that creates the chains for each IP .. if you
use all the IP's from .1 to .250. Then a packet will have to be compared
to 249 chains before if matches a chain if it is from or to IP .250.

This is not good.

Michael.
