nf-HiPAC is a packet filter for Linux that showcases the capabilities of HiPAC. It is a comprehensive and versatile software.
One of the key advantages of nf-HiPAC is its advanced packet classification algorithm, which reduces the number of memory lookups per packet. This means that even with thousands of rules, nf-HiPAC outperforms iptables, the popular Linux packet filter.
Despite its sophisticated algorithm, nf-HiPAC offers an iptables-compatible user interface, making it a seamless drop-in replacement for iptables. You can construct your rules as you're used to, without needing to understand anything about the HiPAC algorithm.
nf-HiPAC even supports the full power of iptables targets, matches, and stateful packet filtering, in addition to its native nf-HiPAC matches. This makes it easy to switch from iptables to nf-HiPAC, and to take advantage of the increased performance and scalability.
Overall, if you need a packet filter that can handle large rulesets and high-bandwidth networks without sacrificing performance, nf-HiPAC is definitely worth checking out. Its advanced algorithm, compatibility with iptables, and dynamic rule updates make it a valuable addition to any Linux environment.
