* Package name : ipset Version : 2.2.9 Upstream Author : Jozsef Kadlecsik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://ipset.netfilter.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : administration tool and iptables modules for kernel IP sets IP sets are a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel which can be administered by the ipset(8) utility. Depending on the type, an IP set may store IP addresses, TCP/UDP port numbers, or IP addresses with MAC addresses in a way which ensures lightning speed when matching an entry against a set. . If you want to . * store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against the entire collection using a single iptables rule; . * dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports without performance penalty; . * express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with a single iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets; . then IP sets may be the proper tool for you. . Note: the ipset(8) utility is the userspace counterpart to kernel functionality which requires patches from the patch-o-matic-ng project applied to the kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
