Summary: Review Request: ipset - Manage Linux IP sets Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: bochecha@fedoraproject.org QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: notting@redhat.com, package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: ---
Spec URL: http://bochecha.fedorapeople.org/packages/ipset.spec SRPM URL: http://bochecha.fedorapeople.org/packages/ipset-6.9.1-1.fc16.src.rpm Description: IP sets are a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel, 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.
