[Bug 87] New: 'iplimit' match is misnamed, should be 'tcplimit'
https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87 Summary: 'iplimit' match is misnamed, should be 'tcplimit' Product: netfilter/iptables Version: linux-2.4.x Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown AssignedTo: laforge@netfilter.org ReportedBy: omega@temple-baptist.com CC: netfilter-buglog@lists.netfilter.org Several projects of mine dictate that I write a limit match that works separately for each IP in a netblock. However, the current 'iplimit' match rule takes the obvious name and instead limits TCP connections. As such it should be renamed 'tcplimit', to properly reflect its function, and free the name for a real iplimit match rule (which I'll probably be writing in the next few days). The rule I'm going to write will be used to do things like limit ICMP message rates on a per-host basis, i.e. for a wireless captive portal or a colocation network. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
