Hi,

SQLIPPOOL requires, maintenance of an IP address table carrying individual IPs

Is there a way to handle IP prefixes (prefix/range format) so that in

this effectively.

Sure; write an "allocate-find" SQL query that does just that. You'd probably need a stored procedure.

There's no native support for it in the module.


For example it would be cumbersome if it happens to populate a table
with each IP of 10.10.0.0/16.

Shrug. It's only 64k rows. I doubt it would be prohibitively expensive.


The other query is how would it affect the performance if it happens
to scan through the entire table during new ip assignment of a

The default SQL schemas for the radippool table are indexed. It won't do a sequential scan, it'll fetch just one row.

client(e.g. mobile device). On the contrary, Perl has Net::IP for
handling ip prefixes which may be better in performance when it comes
to large deployments.

What is your opinion please ? Is there a way/module to handle this?

Thanks a lot for your thoughts/assistance.
