I also tested the protocol found here[1], on top of mainline kernel v4.9 * Without the nf-next patches :
# time (./list-addrs 3000 | xargs -n1 iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -s) real 0m32.994s user 0m1.288s sys 0m26.076s * With the nf-next patches : # time (./list-addrs 3000 | xargs -n1 iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -s) real 0m5.428s user 0m0.068s sys 0m0.288s I do notice a significant performance increase.
