Hello Laura,

As I mentioned the code uses golang, to interact with netlink I use golang 
library for netlink and another golang library for expressions primitives. 
Basically it works for good number of expressions, but when I get to more 
complex things like sets with intervals, I hit problem when set does not get 
created, the strange thing is netlink does not return any errors on set create 
either. 

Here is how I create set with intervals:
        c.AddSet(&nftables.Set{
                Table:     t,
                ID:        uint32(5),
                Name:      "interval-set",
                Anonymous: false,
                Constant:  true,
                Interval:  true,
                KeyType:   nftables.TypeIPAddr, // 0x7
                DataLen:   4,
        }, []nftables.SetElement{
                {Key: []byte{0, 0, 0, 0}, Val: []byte{1}},
                {Key: []byte{10, 16, 0, 0}, Val: []byte{0}},
                {Key: []byte{10, 17, 0, 0}, Val: []byte{1}},
                {Key: []byte{192, 16, 0, 0}, Val: []byte{0}},
                {Key: []byte{182, 17, 0, 0}, Val: []byte{1}},
        })

Am I missing anything from Flags or attributes perspective?

Thank you for your help

    Hi, are you interacting directly with netlink?
    Did you consider using the higher level library libnftables instead?
    
    Cheers.
