Firewall rules execution speed question

RouterOS General
1

Hi,
I was just wondering if it maxes the overall execution of firewall rules quicker if I place logically connected rules in different chains?
I mean that way the 4-5 rules connected together get executed only if the JUMP rule in the main chain is matched. But the jump could cause equally high load.
So is it a good practice to use separate chains?

Thank you!

if packet passes only few of your rules, it makes lower load. so if you jump to subchains only in rare cases - it’s better than the same rules in main chain

Thought so.
Thank you :slight_smile:
