Hi,
Thank you for your tip! I really appreciate it. In my situation I will have many profiles and for each profile I can have many ip address, for example:
profile 1:
192.168.14/23
...
profile 2:
...
What's your opinion? I'm thinking to use pcap library, but I still haven't the key.

I would consider using a simple hash table. Use ipaddr as a key to
do fast lookup of the value. Take a look at scripts/fixdep.c which
includes a FNV hash table implementation.
