Hi,

I couldn't find a definitive answer to know if ACLs are limited in size.

When looking at the code, it seems that the size of an ACL is 65535 max
element (an unsigned Integer in the loop of parsing configuration). Am I right ?

Also, since ACL are parsed linearly when reached, what could be a more
practical max size ? 100, 1000, 10000 elements/IP address ? for allow-update ?

Thank you in advance for any answer,
Sincerely yours, Htam.
