Hi list, I'm seeing that the execution of an iptables update via a shell script take very different time into a my "in production" server and on my test server. My script has about 1500 iptables commands and simple insert a rule on a table. On my in production server, it takes about 45 sec and on my test server 4! My server are 2x Xeon 2.6GHz (so 4 cpus) with 2.6.26 on x86_64 SMP with 2GB ram and my test server amd 3000+ with 2.6.26 i686 1GB, Can be that, on the production server that has a lot of connection it take so lot of time due the connections (I try to say that it has to "lock" the kernel before and "unlock" after an iptables add) or there can be some problems? Thanks, Michele P.s. Yes, I know that the same rules with iptables-restore on my test server takes about 0.5 sec :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
