+    (description "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
+@itemize @bullet
+@item store multiple IP addresses or port numbers and match against the entire
+collection using a single iptables rule.
+@item dynamically update iptables rules against IP addresses or ports without
+performance penalty.
+@item express complex IP address and ports based rulesets with a single
+iptables rule and benefit from the speed of IP sets.
+@end itemize\n
+then IP sets may be the proper tool for you.")
