Name        : ipset
Product     : Fedora 23
Version     : 6.27
Release     : 1.fc23
URL         : http://ipset.netfilter.org/
Summary     : Manage Linux IP sets
Description :
IP sets are a framework inside the Linux kernel since version 2.4.x, which can
be administered by the ipset utility. Depending on the type, currently 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 collection
   by iptables at one swoop;
 - dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports without
   performance penalty;
 - express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with one single iptables
   rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets
then ipset may be the proper tool for you.

Update Information:

For kernels >= 4.2 the ipset version 6.27 or newer should be used to prevent
kernel crashes by using ipset with counters. Also 4.1 kernels seem also to have
issues with ipsets and IPv6.  See also RHBZ#1279189  ----  Upstream 6.26
(RHBZ#1145913)
