address is configured on a interface. This is useful for routers with dynamic interfaces. It is now possible to say: 0100 allow tcp from any to any established 0200 skipto 1000 tcp from any to any 0300 allow ip from any to any 1000 allow tcp from 1.2.3.4 to me 22 1010 deny tcp from any to me 22 1020 allow tcp from any to any and not have to worry about the behaviour if dynamic interfaces configure new IP numbers later on. The check is semi expensive (traverses the interface address list) so it should be protected as in the above example if high performance is a requirement. |
