Description : IP sets are a framework inside the Linux kernel since version
: 2.4.x, which can be administered by the ipset utility. Depending
: on the type, currently an IP set may store IP addresses, (TCP/UDP)
: port numbers or IP addresses with MAC addresses in a way, which
: ensures lightning speed when matching an entry against a set.
:
: If you want to:
: - store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against
: the collection by iptables at one swoop;
: - dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports
: without performance penalty;
: - express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with one
: single iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets
: then ipset may be the proper tool for you.
