ipset is normally used in context of iptables. 
it can help greatly in addressing domain related rules (where a single domain corresponds to many IP's) for iptables.

we currently see that, in the RDK-B emulator, ipset is not available.

is this a limitation of emulator alone? will an physical router with RDK-B stack come with ipset inbuilt?
if not, can you please describe a way to get ipset on RDK-B emulator. (kindly provide any build steps that might be required).

    Hi Z-Nitin Patet,


    ipset is available in real RDK-B devices( like the XB6 devices ,for example ). If you want to enable ipset for RDKB emulator, you can always do that,as the yocto recipes for ipset are already available at /meta-openembedded/meta-networking/recipes-extended/ipset/ipset_6.38.bb


    You need to add the recipe to the package group for emulator to use it up during build time( you may add them in ./meta-rdk-bsp-emulator/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-rdk-ccsp-broadband.bbappend )


    Thanks,

    Swamy
