There is any limit of rules that can be added to the forward table ? I can add 2048 rules, 10000000 rules ?
There is two limits:- Memory usage. The more rules, the more memory is used for the rules. With too many rules you run out of memory.
- Speed. iptables with it's linear lookup is not very efficient at handling large rulesets. But nf-hipac is a good alternative in such situations. <url:http://www.hipac.org/>
