hi! I am trying to make use of a large number of rules with iptables. I have seen there are some optimizations referenced like nf-HiPAC (www.hipac.org) , iptables with classifiers (www.geocities.com/hamidreza_jm) which appearently can deal with thousands of rules (thats what i need). I want per flow (orig addr,dst addr, orig port, dst port, proto) filtering thats why i don´t think i can use ipsets (or can i?) I also would like to have the nice iptables features like mangle table and counters .. I dont really understand what the conntrack does, or if it can somehow helpme (where is the nice documentation about this??) What is the netfilter preferred way to have a large set of rules and still do packet filtering? are HiPAC, iptables with classifiers or any other solution actual? is there a howto,manual,some kind of documentation, all that I find about this are quite old (3 years?) material in the mailing list ... Is this problem already solved? what was the solution taken? well if you could answer any of this questions i would be very thankful Alberto Diez ______________________________________________ Enviado desde Correo Yahoo!
