It's also a bit depressing that everyone is still using the slower iptables, when nftables has been in the kernel for over a decade.

Actually the latest benchmarks were ran on a Fedora 43 host, which as far as I can tell uses the nftables backend for iptables!

Iptables uses nftables under the hood.
