+IP sets are a framework inside the Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernel, 
+which can be administered by the ipset utility. Depending on the type,
+currently an IP set may store IP addresses, (TCP/UDP) port numbers
+or IP addresses with MAC addresses in a way, which ensures lightning
+speed when matching an entry against a set.
+
+If you want to:
+
+* store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against
+  the collection by iptables at one swoop;
+* dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports
+  without performance penalty;
+* express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with one
+  single iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets 
+
+then ipset may be the proper tool for you.
+
+IP sets was written by Jozsef Kadlecsik and it is based on ippool
+by Joakim Axelsson, Patrick Schaaf and Martin Josefsson.
+
+This requires kernel-source.
