nftables atomic updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm belatedly moving from iptables and ipset to nftables. I've become accustomed to using 'ipset swap' to atomically update large ipsets (by loading the update into a temp ipset, then swapping the temp ipset with the old one, then finally deleting the temp ipset). From reading the fine nftables wiki I gather that all nft operations* included in a single file run with 'nft -f <file>' are first built up in parallel memory structures and then applied atomically. Is this statement correct?

* I'm particularly interested in 'add element' operations.

Thanks,
Frank
