You can test the speed by adding IP addresses to the sets and then test them one-by-one and measure the elapsed time. (It's worth to test entries missing from the set as well!) Unfortunately you cannot exclude the userspace-kernel communication overhead. > can /proc/slabinfo help to identify the memory usage ? The hash types use a fixed size hash (which is resized if required), so you can calculate the required memory directly from the hash size. The iptree types use slab caches, so /proc/slabinfo can be used. > Also, what is significant of --gc parameter in iptreemap ? > Does it make difference in testing ? It governs how often garbage collector is run to release empty leaves and branches. Of course it has an effect on the current memory usage.
