Yes, but what I am interested in at this moment is to how to utilize similar techniques for optimizing large iptables rulesets. My routing tables rarely contain more than a handful of rules even in the most complex environments.. The tc code is quite different from the iptables code. The actual act of the method of selecting which chain to jump to is not a big deal, the question is more of how to make iptables make the actual jump in the best manner, and how to build the argument list to the jump target in a manner that makes sense to the userspace iptables program..
