I'd say iptree(map) is faster. But if the IP addresses are random, then iphash can use less memory than iptree(map), if the probes parameter of the hash is small. > Does the decision depends of number of IP Addresses ? Not really, the number of addresses are a neutral factor. But if you create an iphash with small hashsize (compared to the IP addresses planned to store), it can be slow when adding the IP addresses due to rehashing if it has to grow the hash.
