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.
