Hi,
in my userland-app I'm calling the iptables binary to add and
to remove iptables rules, but after moving to a Gigabit-Link
I need a faster method.
libiptc seems to fit the job but then it seems to be 'deprecated', is it really?
Is there a successor to it, or other alternatives?
Can I still use libiptc on a system where iptables v1.4.12 is installed?

Pipe commands to iptables-save.

Sorry, I meant to say iptables-restore, of course.

Hmm. I think in my case this method is suboptiomal because my
iptables rules do change very frequently (ie. banning individual
ip's at different times and then unbanning each after say x minutes,
again individually, ie. not as a group).

I think in this case I should stick with libiptc since it's still
part of the official iptables distribution.

This is starting to sound like something ipset could help with?
