My reply to the orig poster, my second, was sent off list, by error on my
end. I'm willing to accept a clue if I was incorrect in stating:
first time the rule is seen, it is applied. now there can be cases whence
one wants the rule re-evaluated again, and thus might have multiple
instances, that would most often be in user define chains needing a
reapplication, though I can't think of any such instances off the top of
my
head, unless the rule is only applied in user defined chains.
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne

Hi All,
Continuing this post:
Adding a rule multiple times shows multiple entries in iptables -L
output. My
question is : does it have any performance impact on packet processing ?
Should not be because as soon as a rule is matched, it should come out,
Right?
Regards,
Aseem.
