Hi all, I am new to iptables and have few question I hope you can help with: 1. Is there a limit to the number of rules I can add to specific chain? I need to have around 20000 rules. 2. What is the performance implications of using this large number of rules? Is there any numbers people can share. 3. I also saw the HIPAC project which claim to have much better performance. Is there any work done to integrate same type of functionality into iptables?
