If you have many rules and/or high bandwidth you should consider hipac (High Performance Packet Classification) It uses the netfilter hooks and ... checkout yourself at http://www.hipac.org There is also a performance comparison with iptables ... It exists for a 2.4 kernel. A 2.6 version is promissed for october 2004. As we (our university http://www.kuleuven.be/english) have many rules we use it and with success Hope this helps, Jan. --------------------------------------------------- KULeuvenNet ---- Jan.DuCaju@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.KULeuven.Net/e_index.html K.U.Leuven BELGIUM http://www.kuleuven.be/english --------------------------------------------------------------------
