Certainly a rule with an address list size of 1000 is more efficent than one with 2000 or more. However, I believe you will find that a single rule with 10k addresses is more efficient that 10 rules with 1000 each. I have a ruleset that I am testing right now and the address list grows to around 25k addresses and there is very little decrease in cpu utilization that I can see when I remove the contents of the list, but this is not a "scientific" observation. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation * * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * * NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
