It must use the new nfnetlink infrastructure. Jozsef is currently
working on that. I wanted to have a look at it but I have had not time
so far.

Yes, exactly. But besides the netlink infrastructure it must also support
IPv6, before thinking on merging. The main modifications in ipset I'm
planning and working are

- use netlink instead of sockopt
- support IPv6
- throw away binding of sets (the hackish part of ipset), which is
complex and not efficient enough
- add new set types as a substitute of the purged out bindings
- throw away 'iptree' type which is somewhat a fiasco :-(
- add 'timeout' support to all set types
- add a 'union' type to make life even more easier :-)

Yep, slower than I hoped :-(.

Best regards,
Jozsef

an ip-port set would be really nice ;)

That's also what I need when I tried to match some nat-traversal address.
