Optional update for ipset
SUSE Optional Update: Optional update for ipset
This update provides ipset, which is a utility for
administering IP sets. 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.
ipset can:
* 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.
