Thanks a lot for your code Patrick.
I will try as soon as i can.

I dont think hash and rbtrees is suboptimal.
I have really a lot of situations where i need large set of ip's or ports to 
be added in similar rule, which is forced to be linear. And if i even build 
tree manually - it will be really headache to add new hosts.

nftables looks very promissing in this case
